Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
Stayed here on the first night of my trip, arrived late in San Jose. The airport shuttle was great at getting me to the hotel without navigating taxis late at night. Breakfast buffet the next day has a good amount of options - staff were all really friendly and helpful.
