Hotels near Parroquia Santa Bárbara, Alajuela

Good to stay in Hilton hotel

If you’re arriving late at San Jose Airport and have an early flight in the morning, I would without a doubt stay here again. The complementary shuttle service that runs every 30min is so convenient and the location is excellent with a Walmart right across the street for your last minute necessities. The staff is super friendly, the bed is comfy and the rooms are clean. The shower pressure is quite low though but apart from that there’s nothing I can think of. Taking into account the time of the year the room cost more than I wanted to spend, but given the overall convenience and experience all in all it was worth it and I’m looking forward to staying here again when I fly out from San José.

The hotel is next to the airport. There is a shuttle that oicks you up and takes you there every 30 minutes; they should make it every 15 minutes being so close. There is a Walmart next to the hotel and 3 restaurants in fron of the lobby: peruvian, argentinian and costa rican. The gym had everything and breakfast was ok, but not great.

We were greeted by a lovely young woman wearing big glasses and a bigger smile. She checked us in, greeted me as an honors member, explained the amenities and discounts and even called me an hour later in my room to see what else she could do. She helped me login to the wifi and order her recommendations from room service. Just the most amazing service I’ve seen in a long time.

Really a very old hotel! The layout and facilities of the room are really old! But still very clean! The surrounding area is very desolate, there is nothing to visit, and there is no way to go out. The better is the hotel charter. For transiting near the temporary airport, you can make a night out!

We stayed there for one night before flying back home, since our flight was early in the morning. The hotel is quite nice, some pieces are outdated, but still in good condition. The area is very quiet and well maintained. The staff at the reception is very friendly and helpful. That includes the cat who may walk with you to your room ;) Plenty of parking space. The rooms are different from other hotels, lots of wood, even wooden floors. I loved it, better feeling than ceramic tiles and plain white walls. The beds are comfortable and large. The bathrooms are a bit old but everything works and everything is spotless. The only thing I would mention is that there are no fridges and coffee makers in the room. You can actually ask for the coffee maker. But for the fridge - you will have to get some ice (near the pool table). Please note that this review does not cover the steak house, only the hotel.

My husband and I booked an impulsive last minute stay here when we needed to overnight while in the San Jose area. We knew we didn't want to stay in San Jose and after a little searching this beautiful mountain area sounded right up our alley. We were so glad we chose this place! The lodge is really stunning and has Welsh influences as well as Frank Lloyd Wright influences in the design. A bit of modern meets old school and it really creates a cozy and welcoming environment. Our room had a fireplace and a private garden area that was so lovely (and it gets chilly at night in this region so we definitely enjoyed using the fireplace! Though there was a heater available for use as well). It was a really cozy and inviting space. The bed was extremely comfortable and the linens, too. My husband particularly loved the spacious bathroom with the incredible rain shower. We enjoyed dinner as well as breakfast in the dining room and both were outstanding. The steak was like butter! And it would be a shame to miss out on their homemade granola and jam. We arrived at night so we discovered the grounds are utterly beautiful on the morning of our stay. Definitely make time to hike one of the trails (they have maps in each room) and visit the pretty little greenhouse on the property. We were gasping over the beauty of the farmland where this hotel sits and hopeful that we'll return for another stay in the future. Truly a beautiful and comfortable stay.
