Great hotel near the airport with free shuttle. It is also located next to Denny's, the pick up location for Interbus and Grayline shuttles to destinations throughout Costa Rica. Rooms are nice and comforatble, free breakfast is great with typical Costa Rican dishes. Staff is very friendly and helpfull. Just be carefull when you book online via the HI Express... More

Normally a Holiday Inn in the US would not be at the top of my list, but this location definitely changed my perception of the chain. My husband and I had a one night stay in the hotel after a long day of travel from Peru. My husband thought it would be best to just stay near the airport instead... More

My husband and I just stayed here last night after flying into Costa Rica. I am giving it an excellent rating not because it is the most luxurious hotel, but because the customer service here is wonderful. The room was very clean and comfortable. Beds were firmer than I am used to, but were in good shape with lots of... More

We only stayed here one night...well if you can call it that since we left at 3:15am. We stayed at the Holiday Inn due to its proximity to the airport, I don't think you can get much closer. We knew that we weren't going to do anything but sleep that so this was an excellent option. The Holiday Inn is... More

We stayed here the night before we flew out and it was very nice. Hotel is clean and nice, the little pool is much nicer then I expected for a hotel pool - the kids enjoyed it. There are a couple of restaurants basically in the same parking lot so you don't need to have a car or overspend on... More

Cordial welcome by the front desk team! Clean room! Coffee in the room! Excellent high speed access to the internet. Variety and great quality of breakfast food alternatives. Variety of TV channels, including English-speaking. Frequent and responsive shuttle service to and from the airport! Clean and well-maintained pool if you have time for relaxation.

My daughter and I stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica as it was conveniently located near the airport and because they offer a free shuttle, allowing us to turn in our car the day prior to leaving. It is a Holiday Inn, so as such lacks the charm of some of the smaller, more personal B&Bs, but... More

We stayed here after trying to find another Holiday Inn in downtown San Jose on a Friday night. What a nightmare!! After fighting traffic and driving in circles we remembered seeing this Holiday Inn Express when we arrived in Costa Rica. We were able to get rooms without a reservation. They have a shuttle to the airport that promptly picked... More

I always use this hotel when on my way to/from the States from my home here in Costa Rica as it is conveniently located close the airport and the casino is a short walk across the parking lot. However, three times now this hotel has made me wait until the 2:00 pm check in time to check in, even though... More
