What's the difference between 5-star and 4-star hotels in San José?
If you choose to vacation at a 4-star hotel in San José, you'll usually find lots of amenities to make sure you're relaxed, such as a gym, restaurant and pool. You can look forward to excellent service and upmarket accommodations. Choose a 5-star hotel and you'll have access to a few extra bells and whistles — think on-site spas, 24-hour front desk and nightly turndown services. You'll most likely get more amenities and first-rate services at a 5-star retreat, though both are terrific options for luxury travelers.
