8/10 Good
"Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Presidente. The staff were very friendly and helpful; we even got a free room upgrade when we arrived. The room was beautiful as well. The location is hard to beat, being perfectly located in downtown San Jose, and it is gated and feels safe and secure. The only thing I wish was that it is quite pricey with limited amenities (no pool, and airport shuttle is $50, which is about $30 more than an Uber). Additionally, I didn't know, but apparently the breakfast is complimentary if you book directly through the hotel instead of Expedia (if not booked through them, it is $16/person). For the price of the hotel, I wish more amenities were included (like the airport shuttle and breakfast). Otherwise, the hotel is beautiful and wonderfully located, and the staff were fantastic. I would definitely recommend it as long as you don't mind the price."
