Located in central San Jose, Hotel Casa 69 offers a garden patio, free Wi-Fi in public areas and individually decorated rooms with cable TV. The National Museum is just a 10-minute walk away.

Each bright room at Hotel Casa 69 features a fan, a fridge, a radio-alarm clock and a safe. The private bathrooms include a shower. I would highly recommend staying at Hotel Casa 69! The place was cozy, had everything that you needed, and is in a good location. Winston went above and beyond for us! You feel as if you are family while you are there.

Hotel Aranjuez will offer you “an authentic Costa Rican lodging experience” in an urban oasis surrounded by tropical gardens. Each room features an authentic decor and is equipped with a 32" flat screen TV, hot water, safety-deposit box and a desk. very cozy place. the interior feels almost maze-like with little courtyards full of tropical plants and odd-but-charming decor. room was nice aside from not having a proper reading lamp. the breakfast buffet was one of the best I've ever had, at any hotel – lots of things to choose from both local cr foods and the usual toast etc. the little restaurant next door also had some good dinner options.

Featuring a rooftop swimming pool, Studio Hotel offers rooms with free high-speed WiFi and views of the surrounding Central Valley. Set in the centre of Santa Ana, this eco-friendly hotel has an à la carte restaurant. Actually, I have stayed at Studio Hotle Boutique many times. I go back each time because I am confident that the facility will be the same very comfortable place to spend the night and where I will enjoy a cocktail at their comfortable bar before bed a very wholesome breakfast in the morning when I arise. This is my favorite hotel in the San José area; and, a real treat.
