"Very nice, clean, and well appointed hotel near the Gran Terminal del Caribe. There are few services directly around hotel, but the property is a short, 15 minute walk to La Avenida central. Staff were very friendly and helpful."

Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great stop on our first and last night in Costa Rica. Very convenient location about 15 minutes away from the airport. The room was clean and well stocked and the pool was a great sanctuary for a weary traveler. The most standout thing about the stay was the gracious and thoughtful staff. Johan checked us in the second time and went above and beyond, even walking around the complex to find us at the pool(we were early for check in) to get us our room key before he left. Thank you for taking such good care of us. We'll be back."
