Barceló San José
This hotel clearly used to be a very nice place, but it just hasn't been maintained and the location is less than ideal.

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center
Our bathroom tap was broken. Couldn’t run the water at all, I think the censor was broken. And the shower head was broken and only a small stream of water was coming out. Our coffee machine also was broken had to hold down the buttons for it to work.
