Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were super clean, and spacious. The rooms also had every amenity needed. Not to far from the SJO airport! And the staff were accommodating. Definitely would recommend."

Balmoral Hotel San José CR, Historic District

8/10 Good

"This hotel couldn't have a better location. The star was truly great. a bit akward entrance through the parking lot. the lighting control in the room is outdated and the decoration doll, but overall it is correct. Breakfast is somewhat poor but you can get your ommelette. Food and drinks are on the lower end, but 4 stars is correct for this place"

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

4/10 Poor

"We arrived after midnight due to a late flight and customs. The hotel was nice but our room in the back was run down and sparse with limited amenities. The room was at least three decades past an update. In the morning we had a lovely breakfast and the staff and service was great. Prices in the gift shop were not clearly marked and the clerk tried to sell me a small bottle of water for $6 US dollars. "
