I got in around midnight after a grueling flight and travel…there is nothing better than a Hilton bed when you really need to relax and recharge before the next adventure. Slept like a baby. Great central location in San Jose to catch your breath or enjoy a couple days in the mountains

Muy recomendado

El hotel se encuentra en una ubicación muy favorable, cerca del aeropuerto y del centro de la capital, cuenta con piscina y habitaciones con vista a ellas, tiene gym full equipado y restaurante 24/7 con Dennis, así como otros restaurantes dentro del mismo lugar, las habitaciones son muy cómodas, con todo lo necesario, las camas super cómodas, no hay ruidos lo cual es importante, está en constante remodelación, muy recomendado por el precio. El único tema sería que la habitación tenía una puerta para unirse con la habitación de la par y se puede escuchar ruido durante las noches pero se entiende cuando lo que se busca es quedarse en familia y se necesita de esa manera, no sé si hay habitaciones sin estas puertas. El desayuno tipo buffet muy bueno. En general muy recomendado todo
