La habitación estaba ok, un poco vieja, los AA viejo, TV viejo. La puerta no trancaba, había que tirarla con fuerza.

This location does not represent the quality I expect from Marriott establishments. I was quite disappointed. Needing to book a last minute accommodations, I chose this location because it is a Marriott chain and it was advertised as having an airport shuttle. While true, it wasn't clear that the shuttle only runs until 7pm. All that is advertised on the website was that shuttle is available and required reservation. I was caught off guard when I checked in and inquired about making reservations, that they would not actually have that available at the time I needed. Had this been more clearly stated on the website, I would have chosen to stay at a different location. I regret booking this place. This location had bare minimum amenities and bare minimum cleanliness. The point of booking the room was to have a place to rest before my late night/early morning flight. Unfortunately, I was not able to relax because it just felt dirty and I didn't want to touch anything. When I walked into the room, I was immediately hit with a musty old smell. The floors were dirty and had hair on the floor both in the room and the bathroom. While the sheets were bleached white, I couldn't figure out what the black speckles on the sheet were, but easily brushed off. I feel so used to having a minifridge in rooms, so I was surprised when this was not the case here. A/C works well, but it also circulates the musty smell. For the quality of the hotel, it feels overpriced.

Excellent y muy atentos todo el tiempo

It was a great stay for an overnight in the Heredia area. Would probably choose it again also right before or after a flight

Great staff !
Convenient location near shopping , dinning , car rentals and not too far from the airport. Good breakfast , safe and clean. Housekeeping did a good job refreshing our room.
Transit value hotel , but since is associated to the Marriott brand, I was expecting a better maintained facility . The lamps and bed sheets were stained, the bathroom lightning needs an upgrade. A plug-in air aroma diffuser was connected on our hallway, either concealing and odor and /or artificially perfuming the air.

Esta limpio te prestan servicio de traslado al aeropuerto, pero solicite la reservacion por una plataforma y cuando pedí que se me facturará me dijeron que no podían porque lo habia hecho a través de la plataforma. Sin embargo el hotel es el que presta el servicio de hospedaje y la solicitud se emitió a mi nombre.

The rooms have everything a business traveler needs; all your needs are taken care of. The beds are very clean and comfortable. Breakfast is fresh and varied. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

My only complaint is the airport shuttle. You need to reserve the shuttle at the time of booking which Expedia doesn’t explain or offer. Shuttle does not run 24 hrs. No one answers when you call the hotel! I even called Marriott reservations and they couldn’t get hold of anyone at the hotel.
Regan
Great for solo travelers and breakfast is included. They have a shuttle for the airport (SJO) and was super easy. They have an hourly schedule. Bed was super comfy as well.
Victoria
La atención en la recepción deja mucho que desear, poco dispuesta y nada amable.
El aire de la habitación se dañó a las 2 a.m., al momento de reportarlo nos dijeron que el técnico llegaría después de las 9 a.m., eran las 12 del mediodía y aún seguíamos esperando que lo arreglaran.
El desayuno con opciones bien limitadas.
El olor del lugar súper desagradable.
La ubicación no es buena, para llegar a cualquier lugar decente debes manejar por lo menos unos minutos 15/20 minutos.
NO LO RECOMIENDO EN LO ABSOLUTO.

Carlos
Bad internet. Only work in public places.
Christopher
Small room, no coffee machine, great buffet breakfast, and shuttle prompt.
Shayla
Great spot- super clean. Only warning would be to double check the airport shuttle will actually be there- seems to be some communication issues. Or just take an Uber for less than $10 USD.
Michael
No shuttle it was late and I checked in after midnight and had breakfast and checked out but the staff was very nice and helpful
Leanne
Very old hotel , took us a while to get our room and it was the wrong room
Sarah
No pool, restaurant, or outside patio. WiFi did not work. Air conditioning did not work and we got very little sleep. Room was not sufficiently clean. Upsides: staff was friendly and airport shuttle was included.
Ambika
I was not able to find the airport shuttle and tried to call the hotel several times but no one answered so I had to get a taxi. Check in was fast. It is very warm throughout the hotel. The A/C in my room cooled down quickly but it cut off in the middle of the night and flashed an error code and did not work anymore. We were leaving early so we didn’t worry about it but I did let them know at checkout. We heard another guest say the same thing happened with their a/c too.
Sherwin H Johnson
Affordable and very close to the airport.
John
Enjoyed my stay.
Jose
Airport shuttle dropped us to the airport the driver was great loaded our bags for us and also unloaded the same

The breakfast was great but the pull out bed was bad! Just bad. We were a family of 4 with a room with 1 full bed and 1 pullout which was supposed to be good for 4 in total but the pullout was the worst thing I have ever seen in any marriot. We were there just to crash for 1 night and we had reached late at night so didn’t have energy to ask about such bad pullout. We couldn’t sleep well on it throughout the night and it gave body aches the next day. Staff and cleanliness and breakfast was all great. We didn’t complain about the pullout as we were anyway checking out the next morning but my son and I couldn’t sleep well on the pullout bed! For that taking away 2 stars.
María Ignacia
Staff good, ac very loudy
Esteban
En una habitación separada para un cliente (608) se hizo un check in a las 10:00 pm con toda la normalidad y a las 2:30 am estaban llamando a su habitación porque había un problema con la tarjeta de crédito con la que se había realizado el pago . Increíble que no se tenga sentido común y esperar por la mañana para que pudieran resolver …

amenities for shuttle but it start from 6 am and I left 4:30 am

Very thin walls, you hear everything from the room above and to the sides
Asked to book a shuttle to Jaco at the desk , they told I could not and needed to book in San Jose central. I did and did the pickup downtown, and then the shuttle stopped directly at the hotel on the way to pick up other guests. Really unhelpful desk staff

Room was OK. It smelled faintly of mold but seemed clean. The TV was mediocre at best and many channels were static. Hot water took about five minutes to get to the shower, The bed was comfortable. The front desk group was good. I arranged for a taxi to the airport for 4am. I was in the lobby at 3:30 so asked if the taxi could come earlier. He said no problem. At 4am, I heard him on the phone with the taxi which told him he'd be there at 4:10. They were charging me $30 for a ten minute ride. I checked Uber, 3 minutes away and $10. I took the Uber I doubt I'll stay here again, althought he price point was decent.

Todo exelente. Limpieza, amabilidad, tranquilidad y para nosotros exelente ubicacion, muchas gracias.
Renee
The staff were all very pleasant and courteous. The lower review is because the airport shuttle operates on only very limited hours. Also, when we arrived, they gave us a room that was already occupied. They found us a new room, but the experience did make us question the security of the rooms.

Spent 40mins waiting for airport transfer to hotel. Lucky there were other taxi guys around to help with phone calls to the hotel - disappointing start. Room was fine as far as airport hotels go, breakfast nothing special, limited choices and some food was dry.
Connie

Natalia
It was a nice place.
Kenneth
The hotel is a bit older, did not include airport parking. We travel to SJ often and wont stay here again as there are other places for the same price, overall better
Julia
I had specifically asked for a handicap parking space since my daughter has a cast. Since it was halloween the hotel was packed with cars that I am sure did not belong to hotel guests. When I asked for help, no one seemed to care. The parking lot in the back did not feel safe at all.
Breakfast areas was dirty, not much variety.
If all you need is a bed to crash in and out this hotel is ok, but if you expect anything else, I feel this is not up to Marriott standards.

The property is clean and well taking care, the amazing part is the staff, very nice and super helpful, I had the chance to deal with Jennifer who was very helpful, lost luggage and overall perfect.
Jolanda
It's new, the personal are very professional and friendly. The directions from the expediaapp where wrong so we had to drive like 30 minutes back, and i personaly think if you advertise with airportshuttle included, it should be included at any time, ( you shouldnot have to go seach within the advertising if it is really true) not just bussinesshours, I booked the hotel for the shuttle and ended up paying quite a lot for transportation. It felt a bit misleading.

A solid choice
All round great hotel as a very reasonable price. Though it doesn't have the same charm as a local hotel, I would stay again because it's clean and well-run.
