Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica
Good for the price. Great pool for kids. Buffet was good but would have liked to be able to grab some food later and they only allow once per room. Only stayed one night so the traffic didn’t bother too much but it is quite loud in the evening.
