"Airport hotels usually feel like soulless places that are just there for airline crews, business travelers and people looking for convenience when they have an early flight, like we did. The Hilton Garden Inn was so much more! The lobby was welcoming and had a nice bar and lounge area, there was a great pool area, plus it was a quick 5 minute shuttle ride to SJO with a huge mall next door. The rooms were extra large and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful. Rather than feeling confined to the room, it was great to have the mall next door and the pool to choose from to kill some time while we were there. Highly recommend!"
