Since our last visit, the Cariari has overhauled the reception area to include comfy guest seating, a computer nook, and a coffee shop called the Deck Cafe. The lovely central pond has been enhanced with deck seating and a large screen tv viewing area. The bi-lingual hotel staff goes above and beyond to tend to the comfort of their guests... More

If you're looking for a hotel near the airport in SJO... Holiday Inn Express. I know, I know, you have an idea of what Holiday Inn Express is... maybe that is below your standards... but I am telling you it is a MUCH better experience for the same or less price. Please don't book this hotel (the doubletree) for airport... More

This hotel is only ten minutes away from the San Jose airport, so was perfect for our overnight stay before joining our National Geographic tour group. We were welcomed at the desk with our key and a huge, still warm chocolate chip cookie. Room was spacious and clean. Dinner and breakfast were good.

This Hotel looks nice, but expect AC not working, and no one cares. I was waiting for the technician for 2 hours, and then they swiped filters from another room. AC Filters are so dirty... It's disgusting. Guy left so much garbage after he switched the filter. We had to find a broom and clean the floor. Called the manager,... More

Very nice property. Located near a market, so you can get some supplies reasonable. Also some pretty good restaurants within walking distance & a mall. Cab ride to downtown San Jose was about 20 US with tip. Breakfast buffet was excellent! Advise to NOT exchange money at hotel--rate not good. Couldn't get Internet to work in rooms for some reason...

The hotel has been an icon of San José for many years. Well maintained, nice atmosphere and beautiful swimming pool area. The service is really first class and guests are nurtured with a full caring attitude throughout the facility.

Don't expect anything about food quality. It is overprices and really bad. The burger is half the size of the bun. The Calamari are clustered with onion rings. The salads are soggy with dressing and very small. The worse part is dealing the transportation company that handles the "free" shuttle. What a hassle and pain. they are crooks!!!!

The internet service is very very poor. Only the lobby has service. The bathroom amenities were very poor. The hotel is 20 minutes from San Jose. A $20 taxi ride each way. The hotel restaurant is not bad.
