Aloft San Jose Hotel, Costa Rica

Young vibe

Prós: It's modern and with a good location. It feels knew and you'll enjoy the buffet in the mornings. It's definetly for young couples or business travelers

Contras: Parking is very small if you want to be close to the hotel (only about 8 cars). If there are more than that you'll end up parking at another far away parking they share with other buildings. There isn't a swimming pool

No Sleep on the 7th

Prós: Practical, functional, lively young environment, good breakfast and friendly staff.

Contras: AC compresors on roof above the 7th floor are not mechanically isolated. First night was like sleeping (not) with the compresor in the room. Staff acted surprised when I asked to be moved. Really? NO SLEEP ON THE 7th!

Overall Decent

Prós: Pros - Modern hotel/rooms - Diego at the front desk referred us to an awesome club nearby

Contras: Cons - overwhelming sense of humidity in hotel room - smell of mold - front desk offered us a shuttle for $550 USD one way to Jaco. I told him that I had found a comparable shuttle for $150. He explained that that was impossible---that such a price was likely per person. I ended up booking the $150 shuttle for 7 passengers and it was amazing!
