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.

The restaurant at the hotel exceeded our expectations, offering delicious dinner and breakfast options with plenty of variety to choose from. We appreciated the quality of the food and the attentive service provided by the staff.
Our room was beautiful and spacious, with a great bed and effective air conditioning, ensuring a restful night's sleep before our journey home.

This is very close to SJO Airport. Great for before or after flights for that reason (I stayed after and before flights). Alajuela street layout is easy to navigate. Tons of restaurants and shops in the vicinity.

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
I loved the fact that’s it’s a resort but it’s in the nature and not crowded, like a boutique resort. Wonderful room, amazing view, nice environment and atmosphere. Good breakfast with a view. You can hike to waterfalls from the hotel, inside the resort ! And there is a little farm with animals, my child loved it. Not far away from the airport so that’s very convenient when we arrive/depart from San Jose and there are plenty of things to do around, including visiting the volcan Poas.
Best Marriott hotel I've stayed at! We were only there one night before flying out of San Jose! Elegant and modern rooms and really comfortable bead! Plus they had a delicious espresso machine on our floor, where you could get some tasty drinks for free at any time of the day.
The free airport shuttle is also very reliable and runs frequently! Staff was very nice and helpful!
We had dinner at the restaurant onsite and the food was great!
Hotel Robledal is one of our go-to's when it comes to the airport in San Jose. It's comfortable there, clean, and it's easy to get to or from the airport with the free shuttle. There are several people on staff that I enjoy seeing. The gardens and little pond are refreshing and the pool is just enough for a nice dip or a little fun with the family. You can find cheaper places but they won't be as convenient or relaxing.
The perfect place to stay in Alajuela ! This was the best hostel I made during my trip. The host is super nice and welcoming, she cooks delicious homemade breakfast, everything is super clean and confortable, and this place is in the centre of the city and 10 min away from the airport with a taxi ! I recommend this hostel to start or finish your trip in the most perfect conditions :)
Borüka is a simple and honest hotel with very good value for money. It's at a good location, close to San José airport. Ideal for people who arrive by plane and later travel on. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. I had some problems with my flight (lost luggage amongst other things) and the staff did their very best to help finding solutions. Two thumbs up!
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.
We love this hotel and have been coming back for years! It’s close proximity to the airport is super convenient and it is walking distance to the town square in Alajuela with restaurants and shops which makes it a perfect location to spend some time near San Jose. The staff is so friendly. Best value in San Jose!!
The shuttle was excellent. I need to be close to airport for odd travel times. Very helpful staff.
Breakfast was the best and most diverse I’ve ever had at a hotel in Costa Rica. They even had fresh juice drinks I had never heard of and I have been coming to Costa Rica since 1968 with OTS. Really excellent
Close to the airport. Comfy beds. Decent breakfast. Didn't try the pool so can't comment. Great if you need a night near the airport. Restaurant in hotel with limited menu. Denny's a matter of steps away, not the best meal we've had in Costa Rica but certainly the most expensive!
Friendly staff, and very nice and clean room really close to the airport. Walking distance. A taxi is even not needed.
I also recommend to use the food truck of the hotel. It is more friendly and cheaper. I went to the restaurant at the corner and, let's admit, it was my mistake.
Nice littel hotel in the center off Alajuela.
We stay at the start off our holyday and the last Day.... Near the airport and Shuttel to the rental car adres and aéroport... We will defenely go back iff we are in San José, Alajuela. Thanks for the service and good care...
I like the location in Alajuela and when we got up in the morning and got to actually look around the hotel, the hotel was really beautiful and was like the pictures, which is why we booked it. The staff was very nice.
The staff was welcoming and helpful, the hotel was spotlessly clean and welcoming, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast in the garden was lovely. Walkable to anything we wanted to see in Alajuela
