Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Clean room and comfortable beds. Wifi was a little spotty. Pool was relaxing. Breakfast had a lot of options and the gentleman who ran the kitchen made my friend a really cool banana Dolphin with strawberries and fresh honey. So cool! Convenient location to the car return but not much else in an easily walkable area other than the casino next door. The shuttle for dining options was nice though. Quick shuttle to the airport was fantastic as well."

Posada El Quijote

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was good. Standard gallo pinto and eggs with toast and fruit. Room was as described on FB. Pillows were lumpy and bed was hard but still got good nights rest. Pool is small but clean and refreshing with great city view. Hotel is off the beaten path. Nothing is very close as far as restaurants and grocery options. Hotel is at the top of steep busy road without sidewalks and all options are at the bottom of the hill but Ubers were plentiful. Very quiet basic place to stay. No bar or restaurant on site. Plenty of friendly cats though. Would stay again"
