Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"This was our first time traveling to Costa Rica and I’m glad we chose this hotel. The rooms were nice and clean. AC worked well! Parking is in front of the hotel. We paid extra for the breakfast and it was delicious. We were also able to exchange a small amount cash USD at the front desk which was convenient. There are a few restaurants walking distance away that were also wonderful!"
