Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela

10/10 Excellent
"It’s about five minutes from the airport. They have a shuttle that will take you to the airport. Has a nice restaurant for the complementary breakfast. Walmart is right next-door so it was helpful to stock up on things. Much cheaper than the same stuff at the airport! Highly recommend if you’re flying in/out of SJO"
