"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

8/10 Good
"Hotel Mango is a pleasant and convenient location when arriving or leaving from the San Jose Airport. While the rooms could use updating, they are quiet and comfortable. The breakfast room overlooks a lovely interior courtyard with a pool. Good choices for breakfast and excellent service."
