This is a beautiful hotel filled with art and we enjoyed strolling the different floors to pick our favorites. We chose it to stay one night "near" the SJO airport for a flight the next day. At first we thought we had made a mistake staying here because we arrived during evening rush hour traffic and it took a long time to get there, but the drive to the airport in the morning was quick and easy. We ate a delicious dinner at the Italian restaurant next door and enjoyed the hotel's breakfast and coffee in the morning. Staff were very nice and the rooms were clean and comfortable.
