Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Great hotel to stay at when first arriving in Costa Rica. They have a 24/7 airport shuttle which works great when arriving on a late flight. The rooms are comfortable and have blackout curtains to block that early morning sun! They also have a very nice breakfast offering with helpful staff. The hotel in walking distance to some of the car rentals. We used Economy and they were most helpful. Overall this is a great spot to start and end your trip to Costa Rica!"
