"We had a great stay at the Courtyard by Marriott San José Airport Alajuela. It was the perfect choice for our final night in Costa Rica, especially with an early morning flight the next day. The hotel was clean, comfortable and very conveniently located near the airport. One of the biggest bonuses for us was having Walmart right next door, which made it extremely easy to pick up any last-minute items before traveling home. The location is excellent, the rooms were comfortable, and everything we needed was close by. After traveling from Tamarindo, it was nice to have somewhere convenient and relaxing to settle in before our flight. I would definitely recommend this hotel, particularly if you need somewhere to stay before or after a flight from SJO. The airport convenience plus Walmart next door made it a winner for us! 🇨🇷✈️"
