Where is a good place to stay overnight in San Jose?
We most often stay at the Hampton Inn hotel in San Jose (right near the airport). The phone number in San Jose, Costa Rica is 011-506-2443-0043. The hotel is only a couple of minutes from the airport; they have English service at the front desk, a pool, a small gift shop, airport and restaurant shuttle services and an excellent continental breakfast. There is also a great chicken restaurant (Rosti Pollos roasted chicken) right next door and several “typical” restaurants only a short couple of blocks north. Several car rental companies operate right across the street from the hotel itself. Our suggestion is to book your rooms in advance and your car rental at that time too. You can take a shuttle bus from the airport to the Hampton, and rent a car from there. If you rent from the airport there is a 15% surcharge. Some companies that come to mind are Budget, National, and Economy, Thrifty and Toyota. Our favorite, Tricolor is located about one block down the road from the hotel. www.tric
