"Frommers.com" (Review at www.frommers.com)
Situated directly across the street from the attractive downtown Parque Morazán, this is San José's only high-rise business-class hotel. The rooms are everything you might expect. The hotel has been around for quite a few years. The location is great for exploring downtown on foot, and if you get one of the upper-floor rooms on the north side, you'll have one of the best views in the city. If you book in advance over the Internet, you can often get a much better rate than the rack rate listed here.

"Wonderful Hotel- Great Value! Great Security! Super Central Location"
Sep 14, 2006 Travelvixen, Paris, France (Review at Tripadvisor.com)
Location is great- walk to everything in your guide book- theater, Gold Museum (Don't miss their wonderful museum store! v. reasonable jewelry and gifts) markets. Beautifully redone hotel- shouldn't be called a Holiday Inn because it is better than any Holiday Inn I've never stayed at. This is more of a Sheraton, Hilton class or above hotel. We were stunned at how nice it was considering what we paid. There is also a nice Sauna, jacuzzi, and pool that was enjoyable after a long days shopping and before dinner. We had breakfast included in our price and it was worth it since their service and selection is terrific- USA guys- don't forget to tip the breakfast waiters for heavens sake- just because it's included in your room price doesn't mean they don't need the tips! It is very clean and the employees were all excellent to a person. Internet works well but isn't cheap at $10/hr. I got traveling sickness from the downtown restaurant Tin-Jo's recommended in Lonely Planet and OWNED by a US citizen who apparently didn't think using purified water to make their ice or cold tea drinks was important- and was very well attended to for the 3 days that I sufferd.
