2. Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

Carmen, 2.3 km from Zapote

"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."

Top Zapote Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff, great shuttle, nice rooms—quieter than most in the area!"

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was nice and clean and super convenient to the airport. The whole staff was very friendly, but we especially enjoyed conversing with Fernando. My wife and I had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant, and Fernando was our waiter. He was very friendly and made us feel right at home (like we have been friends for years even though we just met). Thank you."
