Hotels/B&B in San Jose

Hi everyone

I am going to Costa Rica in September and before going trekking I will be staying in San Jose for two nights. Do you have some suggestions - price level 50 - 100 US per night.

Thank you :-)

Tina

Hey Tina,

Do you really want to stay in San Jose? True it is a big city but not the most safe...really! You could think of going to Alajuela or even to Grecia which is only 35 min from the airport and there are buses going into San Jose everyday at least every hour if not more. Grecia is a small town and was voted the cleanest city in Latin America. The people are really friendly and the central park is really quanit and a great place to meet alot of people. There is a B&B 1.5 blocks from the park...check out the website B&B Grecia. They also offer airport pick up and drop off services.

Pura Vida!

Depending what you want to do in San Jose, Grecia is a very nice town quiet, clean its a nice place to be if you want to do souvenir shopping in Sarchi or just be secluded a few days. San Jose is great for night life, visit to museums or just for day tours rafting, volcano, etc. almost all accommodation outfits will organize it for you, Hotel around 50 to 100 dollars you can find them with reviews on tripadvisor.com. Grano de Oro is very well quoted. Enjoy.

Hi, is better to stay the first two nigths in Alajuela because is close to the airport and is the road the be best beaches in Costa Rica and you can find B and B good and with a low prices

Its what the Forum's all about!

tropical B&B must be a horrible place and business must be in the toilet. Jardine is really spending a lot of time on line getting her name on the threads today. more than a fourth of her total posts have been today.

you might get less hassle from the regulars if you would take your b&b website off of your quote area. That really is a violation of the terms of service. But then.....you have no other reason to spend any time here other than promote your b&b. geeez what was i thinking?

don,t know about all of them but dunn inn works for me. nice room ac air tv minni bar in room cozy little bar and resturant with good food at a reasonable price. well under 50 a night. also very safe and friendly staff bario amon san jose. always take a taxie at night if going out. don

forgot to add the doorman is dressed in a suit and tie but underneath he packs a gun, small casino across the street. i f you want to walk over there tell the doorman he will keep an eye out for you. don

Consider the Pine Tree Inn in Escazu, and first ring suburb of San Jose. The price is on the lower end of your budget. The hotel is close to Scotiabank (English speaking staff), many restaurants, theaters, and nightlife. Taxis or buses to San Jose are 2 blocks away. Enjoy

the Hotel Don Carlos should be about $70/night and is really great....used to belong to the president of Costa Rica...gorgeous four poster beds in some of the rooms and probably the best gift shop in CR

whoops... sorry about that blank reply. I was looking over the thread to see about a hotel room for 1 night in San Jose before taking the bus out the next morning to Playa San Miguel for a 2 month stay, and I sent a reply by accident.

dkt2u, you don't konw my place because you never been here, you don't know anything about my business. Yes i have a place, i am a single mother of two boy trying to make maney for them in a honest way and you are not nice saying that.
God Bless you!

I like Don Carlos!

Jardine, I am sure you are a wonderful person and I admire you for working under the tough situation it must be being a single mother and trying to run a business to make ends meet and raise your boys. The bottom line is though, this forum is not intended to be your free website to promote your business and it is obvious for the most part that this is what you are doing. Otherwise, there is no other reason to have your web site address in your quote area.

Though I agree there is no advertising on the LP Forum, and Jardin has been giving both advice (though mundane and not too inovative or informative), she also has been plugging her place.

Jardin, I am sure you have a great place, in fact when I next around the area I will come say hello, but the forum is for information not provided by business owners to plug their business, though Collinsto and others do promote the area they live in, they normally do not make the plug of their place....

Lets cut her some slack, now she knows the scoop.

Jardin, please contribute on this forum, but not repeating a constant ad for your business...its the simple.

To the Origonal Poster question-

1- Why San Jose 2 nights? get out of town

2- I like the Dunn Inn

3- $50 is fine....$100 I suggest The Gran, Presidente or Holiday Inn
