Service at reception and the bar/restaurant was great. The room was spacious and comfortable. The lock on the door wasn't working properly to begin with but after I reported it, it was fixed very quickly. Food in the restaurant was good quality. The included breakfast was good. The pool table was a nice addition. The swimming pool was nice (not too cold), but you do get a bit of debri off the sourrounding vegetation, but that is hard to keep on top off all the time. I Uber'd to here from San Jose downtown with no problem.

Basic but good hotel near the airport. They were renewing the rooms when we were there. Ours was already really nice. Our car rental place was next door. They can help you with a taxi to the airport for 8$ and give you some fruits as breakfast if you leave early.

I think most travelers would not spend more than two nights in Alajuela- 1 inbound and 1 outbound.
I spent 5+2 nights in Alajuela while I was getting ready for my family members' visits spread over a few days.
Our "suburban" enclave was up-to-date with modern facilities, and close to Alajuela near the Freeway 1.
The location where we stayed was "authentic" with a tiny super, a cute bakery, a soda, and the most delightful neighbors.
I could almost stay to learn the language. :0

I stayed pretty close to a large shopping mall--just a few blocks away--so the restaurant options were great. I ate at "Mahalo"--great poke! The house is within a few miles of the airport, so getting there only cost 3 colones, and I took a Tuasa bus (for about two dollars) to get to Alajuela from downtown San Jose. The only "negative" is that there were traffic sounds, but they settled down when it got later. I would definitely stay in Alajuela again. I felt completely safe walking back alone at night after dinner.

The area is fun and easy to get around.
The area is fun and easy to get around. There are many small stores, but no good supermarkets. TONS of cafes and fast food places, so getting something to eat is easy. I'd go there again, but there's not a ton to do unless you enjoy sitting in parks, which I do.

It’s the best location to stay on your first night,...
It’s the best location to stay on your first night, especially if you arrive in the evening and don’t have an “all inclusive“ vacation booked; and best location for your last night in Costa Rica, due to the proximity to the airport.
Be warned, the red taxis are really expensive and Uber drivers are allowed to drop you off at the airport, but are not allowed to pick you up from the airport. Most places that offer accommodation, also offer a pickup service from the airport. Take it. The closer to the airport, the cheaper they get; prices start at $5 and could get to $35, $40 US dollars , depending on the distance to the airport.
Most rental cars offices are around the airport, so, look for a place to stay not too far away from the airport and one that offers drop off to a rental car office. If not, it’s always an Uber driver available. The closer to the airport, the better, for first and last night stay, because driving in the city could take a veeeeeery long time.
If you have time, walk the streets of Alajuela, people are very friendly and ready to help. Be very careful, the water tranches along the pedestrian walkways, are very deep, and the holes on the uneven pavement are deep as well, but definitely go to the city’s fresh market; it is a very interesting experience. Make sure you calculate well the prices, from corones into dollars, lots of vendors will try to take advantage of you, if you don’t pay attention. You can pay in US dollars everywhere, except for buses (long distance or local buses); the dollar bills must be pristine, one little tear anywhere on the bill, will be refused.
All in all is a nice city full of hustle and bustle, with lots of cars and people, with little parks with amazing trees, lots of perrots, delicious fresh fruits and gelatos
Hotel is 8-10 minutes from the SJO airport. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Room was clean and larger than expected. Occasionally heard people outside my door but luckily not late at night. I didn't eat breakfast, but the coffee was great. Pool area is nice. Many restaurants within walking distance. There are also a couple of small parks within walking distance. Don't forget your umbrella if you are out walking around Alajuela because a thunderstorm with heavy rain can pop up quickly. I would definitely stay again.
Very nice people who work here and it's a nice and clean hostel. We stayed here for two times, at the beginning of our holiday and at the end. I would recommend the normal 2 persons room more over the luxury one since this one is less noisy and a bit more dark but both rooms are good! You can have some nice meals here also. There is a taxi service from the hostel so you don't have to struggle with finding your way through the (illegal) taxi jungle when you arrive in Alajuela.
It was a good typical breakfast. The pool was lovely and the view spectacular. The staff were friendly. Not their issue that the rooms shown when booking are not the room given on arrival. They are doing their best. This place has huge potential if managed correctly. Money needs to be invested. The Mirador del Valle restaurant is 300 meters from hotel. Same gorgeous view, excellent service and the food was amazing.
Very kind and helpful staff in every sense. Delicious breakfast and clean and comfortable rooms. Alajuela is the perfect place to stay to visit San Jose and get a transfer to or from the Airport. near to the Hotel there are some possibilities to eat in a Restaurant or Soda and go to the Supermarket and different Stores. We felt very save and really recommend that Hotel.
Perfect place for our one-night stay in Alajuela before an early morning flight. Great location right in the very centre of town, very big bed, AC in the bedroom, warm water in the shower, and a good breakfast. The hotel also called us a taxi which was waiting for us right on time to take us to the airport. Would recommend this place to other travellers.
My stay at Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and efficient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient for airport access. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful addition. Highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Alajuela.
Very nice, calm location near airport, with nice patio. Really convenient for first and last day of our trip around Costa Rica. Fast communication, clear instructions and best is their airport transfer, even drove us and come for us to our car rental place near airport. I really recommend this accomodation.
Owners treated myself and my kids like family.
This is a no frills location - not your 5-star hotel with many amenities, but it has all the things that are needed, all is clean and tidy.
Literally 5 min ride from/to airport, 5 mil colones by Uber.
Best recommendations!
Lovely pool garden area. Big mango trees & bottlebrush tree. Cute liitle doggie. Cool & breezy. Sleeping with the window open. Friendly efficient staff. Good breakfast in pleasant open air patio. Near airport for late arrival or early departure.
The staff there were VERY helpful! We had a small issue with our rental car, which they helped iron out. Breakfast was cooked on site and was excellent. Location near airport was perfect, and the shuttle ran on time, as promised.
We stayed here twice, loved it both times. Easiest and best option for before and after flights. Free airport shuttle and car rentals are just next to hotel. Gym is great. Rooms are clean and modern.
nice clean modern hotel with great staff and shuttle service to the airport available 24/7 - the breakfast was the best Hamoton breakfast ever lol - seriously, it was good!
