Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent
"This was a perfect place to stay if arriving in San Jose late or having an early morning flight. It was extremely clean and the staff was friendly. There is a Walmart right next to the property and across the street are several restaurants to choose from if you didn’t have a car. I would highly recommend staying here."
