The hotel is really close to the airport. Our flight arrived at 12:30 am so we stayed near the hotel instead of traveling to the Los Suenos Marriott in the middle of the night. The Courtyard is in a beautiful modern building. The lobby and rooms look like a typical Courtyard in any American city, right down to the yellow/orange... More

I've taken early morning flights home from SJO twice and this was my first time at the new Courtyard by Marriott. Last time, I stayed at the nearby Holiday Inn Express. I chose this hotel so that my two friends and I could share one room. We had a larger room with a living room and bedroom. It was perfect... More

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights when we first got to Costa Rica and for one night before leaving the country. The service was great, and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast buffet was decent (although not enough signs indicating that there's a special buffet section which we were not allowed to have). The battery in our... More

This is a new property very close to airport so nice if you have a late flight in or early flight out. Not so much for a lengthy stay.

Really cool new hotel very convenient to airport. "Free shuttle" is actually $5 and breakfast buffet is $17. At a Courtyard, really? I mean, come on guys. If you don't plan on eating breakfast its a great place to stay for late night arrivals or super early departures.

We spent a night at this hotel prior to connecting to a flight back to Canada in the morning. The hotel is almost brand new. Very nice room, great bed, had an acceptable dinner in the hotel restaurant rather than taxi to somewhere else. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast the next morning as well. The staff were very accomodating and... More
