Passing though San Jose you may want to stay here if you're on a limited budget. May be better considered as a higher end backpacker hotel. Innkeepers are very nice. Room is small but clean. It's possible to get transportation to the airport if you ask.

My husband and I stayed here for 1 night. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again. We were robbed by a taxi driver in San Jose so the Hotel's shuttle service was highly appreciated.

Cute and clean little inn close to the airport. They were very accommodating and helped us order takeout when we arrived late at night. It was wonderful to have someone there who spoke excellent English and was able to answer our questions. There is a very nicely outfitted tiny breakfast room with a balcony, microwave, refrigerator, dishes,etc that we were... More

My friend and I stayed one night at the Hotel Santa Maria Inn on the home leg of our trip to Costa Rica. Clean, comfortable and well located, we were able to get a good night's rest prior to the long flight home. Recommended for an overnight stop either when arriving or departing.

The Hotel Santa Maria is pretty much as it is pictured. It is small, but clean and has everything you need. We chose it because we couldn't find a place that would allow us to bring out miniture poodle. But we had to keep it "in it's jail". Not gonna happen. They also request that you put the used toilet... More
