Very nice accomodations
Breakfast buffet is excellent. The entire staff was kind, courteous, professional. Special thanks to Christian, the Gen. Mgr., Javier is my boy w/17 yrs at the same location, he took care of me. Every desk staff personnel bent over backwards to be helpful. I had a broken left foot, they provided a wheel chair, wheeled me to the breakfast buffet every morning, were accomadating for all my needs. Thank you very much, I love you guys.

Best in San Jose CR
Great location with a lot of restaurant options within walking distance (if you like to walk). The area is safe, taxis are reasonable (buses too) and the hotel has a decent restaurant. This hotel also has a world class Barman, Jose.

vacation
the hotel was nice. the food(buffet for breakfast) was more than what i had expected. very good. the staff was also very nice. the only thing that i had a problem was that the room service was very slow. we had ordered a couple of drink,ks and it took more than 30 mintues. when it came to ordering food it took more than 30mintures( just guacamole) at the bar. we needed clean towels to take to our tour the next day and they were not availabe until 10am the next day. i couldnt believe that a hotel will run out of clean towels.

Very good hotel for the value.
This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel. It is nicely located and in a quiet residential neighborhood of San Jose. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is surprinsingly good. There is a small casino adjecent to the hotel. The gym is small but adquate. The Barcelo hotel group is a Spanish hotel chain with a good world wide reputation; I recomend this hotel.

Short drive from hotel
There are two restaurants near that should be considered. At the Crown Plaza Coribici the Japanese restaurant Fuji. There is also a seafood place frequented by the locals called the Princesa Marina; order the Seabass or Corvina without bones and fried. Tell the taxi drivers to put on the Maria or meter when you get into a taxi; the ride to these two places should be no more than $4.00.

Average hotel.
Stayed two nights. Arrived late Thursday. I was given a room on the first floor along the street. There were 10 rooms along the hallway. All empty on both sides. The reason I bring this up is because at 6:30am I was awakened and continued to be bothered by motorcycles, trucks, and car alarms. They could have placed me on the other side of the hall in the same room. I know that they were the same rooms because the next day early there was a man installing flat screen TV's in all the rooms in that hallway. The buffet breakfast was great. Service very good. The location is good, right near to Sabana park and the stadium. Room service and minibar are overpriced.
