What's a nice hotel near the San Jose, Costa Rica airport?
Need a hotel for one night near the San Jose, CR airport. I arrive on a regional flight at 11AM and depart the next day for the US at 6AM. I would like somewhere pleasant w/ a pool that's near the airport. I would prefer NOT to stay at an American chain (i.e. NOT the Hampton Inn). Preferably around $100 per night would be a good budget. Thanks. Thanks. I should stay near the airport because my flight to the US is at 6AM the next day. Know any good spots near the airport? Or is Hampton Inn the only option? Thanks. I think I'll pass Adventure Inn only because it doesn't look like it has a good pool scene. I'm going to spend almost the whole day in San Jose, so I'd like a place w/ a decent pool. Any more suggestions?

BRAVO! You can't believe how happy it makes me to hear a comment from a like-minded traveler. I just DETEST lame chain places when I can stay in a colorful locally operated property. Unfortunately for you, the Hampton Inn happens to be freakin' smack dab next to the San Jose airport, which is why so many Americans love the heck out of it. I always just bite the bullet and do the 20 minute taxi ride each way into downtown San Jose where I stay in one of the B&B style inns in Barrio Amon for half the price and twice the quality. There's a lot of good places there: the Don Carlos is excellent, the Brittania very upscale, the Hotel Santo Tomas unassuming but friendly, the Fleur de Lys cosmopolitan with a heavy european clientele. Just a few ideas...

Stay at the Hampton. I had the same opinion and took the 20 min ride into San Jose. I got robbed the in less than one hour. Stay out of San Jose.

Try adventure inn, ive stayed there myself.. its cheap, the rooms are very clean and overall its a nice place. Its about 5 minutes away from the airport, you can take a taxi from the airport for maybe $5, or a bus for 25 cents. Here is their site: http://www.adventure-inn.com/
