4/5 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I really enjoyed my stay at the Irazu Hotel and Suites! Staff were very kind and helpful! Pool area is very nice, balconies off room are a great place to sit, and the breakfast is delicious! The beds them self are a bit hard but not terrible. And the room service advertised is from the Dennys restaurant (not bad, just not what I expected). I also had scheduled in advance a hotel shuttle pick up. I was told it arrived every hour and that I should be able to catch the 7 am since I landed at 6:20 am. I ended up waiting until 8:15 am before I finally gave up and paid for a taxi to the airport. Staff were very kind and apologetic when I did arrive and helped me arrange the rest of my transportation including a shuttle to La Fortuna. All in all, I thought the price for this stay was more than fair and I plan on staying here again whenever I am in San Jose!
