Hilton San Jose La Sabana

"Our stay at the Hilton was awesome. Very nice staff, and the room we stayed in was clean with everything we needed. Also, had a balcony with amazing views of the city. The hotel has a nice bar downstairs and a very nice restaurant inside of the hotel on the 18th floor. There are also other restaurants nearby in walking distance. Also, a lot of the tours outside of the city pick-up location is at this hotel so you won't have to travel anywhere else to be picked up. Fun fact, this hotel is the tallest building in the entire country of Costa Rica. "
