"We arrived late and were greeted by staff and checked in quickly. The kitchen was still open so we were able to get food. Breakfast is included but since our flight was so early, they gave us a bag of breakfast items to take with us which was much appreciated."

Courtyard by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent
"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! 🇨🇷✈️"
