Crowne Plaza San Jose La Sabana, an IHG Hotel

I liked almost everything about this hotel. If you're looking for a full-service, bigger and comfortable place to stay, this is the spot. We stayed here for our last night in San Jose and it was really comfortable after running around Costa Rica. What you expect from a bigger, chain style hotel. I regret not booking here for our first two nights in San Jose at the beginning of our trip. It was a bit more expensive than the Radisson Park that we booked (don't book there), but in retrospect it would have been wise to pay the extra and stay at the Crown Plaza. Plus the Avis office that we rented our car from is there. BTW, our car rental with Avis went fine and was cheaper than Adobe, assuming they release the multiple holds they still have on my card.

Great hotel and amazing staff members - warm, incredibly polite, efficient, reactive and so welcoming. The staff was what stood out for me in terms of their willingness and efforts which made us feel ever so welcome. Our stay definitely mattered to them!! Great and varied breakfast and again, the restaurant staff went out of their way to make sure each guest was well served. I would definitely go back to this hotel. Most tour operators also pick up from this hotel.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, very attentive to customer's needs. The Japanese restaurant was superb, but there is a fairly decent supermarket across the road and some very nice restaurants around the corner on Avenda De Las Americas. I would be happy to choose this hotel again.

Crown Plaza was our last stay of a three week trip through Costa Rica before we flew back the next day. It was perfect exactly for that purpose, I would not pick it for sightseeing in San José. The rooms are spacious, it is a hotel on global level and offers everything you need. We clearly enjoyed to have a well working hot water shower again :-) The pool area is very nice and you can easily spend some time there. There is a beautiful park right around the corner to also spend time. Value for money was clearly given, e.g. compared to the hotel we stayed in when we arrived in San José.

Breakfast was fantastic. We were quite delayed getting in our room. Luzia jumped in and put us on the club floor which really changed our initial irritated impression. The food was delicious. Restaurants both great
