1. Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas
3.0 star property
Carmen, 0.8 km from Dolorosa
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (1,001 reviews)
"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."
