We wanted to stay near the airport on our last night and this hotel was wonderful! Staff was very friendly and the room comfortable and clean. There is a restaurant on site and the breakfast buffet is wonderful with a lot of options to choose from. But if looking for something different, just across from it, a few steps away, there are several restaurants (Peruvian, Argentinian and Mexican). There's also a Walmart next door, which is very convenient to stock up on snacks before the flight. The shuttle to the airport is very convenient and it was on-time.

We are very happy with our overall experience and will definitely stay here again. The only thing we can think of is the pool. It is outdoors and is not heated so it felt cold when we were there in the afternoon. Maybe consider adding heating to the pool.

First off the location is great. right across the highway to the airport. That's a big plus because there is a shuttle that will take you directly to the hotel. You don't have to be hassled by the San Jose airport taxi drivers! Next, There is a shopping center with restaurants and a Walmart with a grocery store adjacent to the property. This came in very handy during our stay. The rooms are clean and we even had some tropical birds pay us a visit each morning on our window.

No free breakfast. They do serve breakfast for a fee. We pasted and walked to walmart for an affordable harty option.

I love the Courtyard for an overnight stay before or after a flight from SJO airport! It is the closest hotel (literally 5 minutes drive) plus they offer an airport shuttle that comes around every 30 minutes and collects you for free! I loved the excellent breakfast buffet - for a Courtyard that was a 5-star buffet! I stayed at other higher-ranked hotels with fewer options! Amazing! The staff also is so great, I loved chatting with them. They helped me with some questions unrelated to the hotel - and were very helpful and sweet.

Room was clean, very comfortable. What you would expect from a Marriott hotel. Room was comfortable but then too hot during the night.

I felt we were being gouged because we were by the airport and there are no restaurants in the close vicinity. My husband and I had dinner in the hotel. The waitor was unpleasant. the meal was priced way over what i would expect (even from an airport hotel) and a glass of wine was about 10 x what it cost instead of the average 2 x cost. the woman at the front desk was also very unpleasant and demeaning. We had stayed at the Fairfield by Marriot next door only 2 weeks before and had the opposite experience.

This hotel is great for onward travel or if you are leaving late at night or an early morning flight. The airport is just a few mins across the highway.The free shuttle to the airport is great.It runs every 30 mins.It’s very clean and rooms are spacious.

When I checked in they said they could not find my booking.I showed the receptionist my booking confirmation on bookings.com and she said that the confirmation number should start with a different letter, even though I pulled up my booking on the app. I was worried of course.Her customer service skills weren’t that great.It took another receptionist to figure out that there was a typo on their side with my Surname. There is nothing really spectacular about this hotel. Standard airport hotel. Customer service is average. I asked for help with the tv,they said they would send someone to help me but nobody came. I eventually figured it out myself.Staying here for a night for the convenience of the location is enough.

The property is located closely to the airport which is great. It’s clean and quiet.

The staff could use a bit more training. The free shuttle went by me at the airport, not stopping at all. Driving through even with me waving my arms at the driver. I called the hotel directly and it was implied I was in the wrong place. I was not. Then I was told the next shuttle would be passing in 15 minutes. It was 30 and once again he just drove past never stopping even with me waving. I call again. This time I’m told I can catch the Fairfield shuttle which will be there in 15 minutes. I was able to do this. Upon arrival staff was kind and checked me in early and gave me a free drink. Both were kind but the whole thing could have been avoided by having the driver actually pulling to the curb when he goes to the airport or by offering the Fairfield shuttle right away.

This is in almost all respects like a flawless American hotel, only that it is staffed by incredibly friendly and helpful Costa Ricans, which makes it about the best combination you can imagine. The shuttle bus to the hotel runs regularly at 30 minute intervals, but if there is space you can also take the Fairview Shuttle as the hotels are next to each other. Wifi at the hotel is free and fast (I wish that was true in the US as well!), breakfast is excellent and filling - with a waffle station, someone who prepares great omelettes, and great coffee as you'd expect in Costa Rica. You can walk to the City Mall, although slightly inconveniently because it's along the highway, or if you need to do any shopping, there's a Walmart close by. Across from the hotel there are a few restaurants that offer reasonable dinner options if you don't want to eat at the hotel itself, although the restaurant there is fine. The fitness centre has the usual dreadmills and some dumbbells but will do for when you're "on the road."

Great room and very comfortable. We booked it for one night only as our flight was very early the following morning. We also utilized the airport shuttle service, which was excellent, and took advantage of the gym, which has all the basics for a good workout. The food and drinks at the restaurants are also very good.

Everything was great! We didn't go out to explore, but apparently, there is a Walmart nearby with some restaurant options.

The hotel was very close to the airport. With the shuttle bus we were at the hotel within minutes. The staff was very friendly and helped for example to organize a taxi/shuttlebus. On the trip to Tamarindo, Erik, our shuttle bus driver, was very friendly and communicative. He gave us a lot of information about the country and had a very good vibe.

The breakfast was too expensive for the buffet menu.

I stayed at the Marriott for one night in September. The hotel is close to the airport and has an airport shuttle which was appreciated as my flight arrived at night. Check in and out was a breeze and the staff were professional and friendly. The room was adequate in size, the shower was hot and the bed was comfortable but the most important thing was the hotel was CLEAN and immaculate. You could smell that the room Had been cleaned which is important due to the times we now live in. The hotel also has a restaurant, I only had a light breakfast but the service was good and the restaurant was clean. Thank you to the hardworking staff who made my stay comfortable. I will definitely use this hotel on my next trip to Costa rica.
