    We just stayed there for two days and had time to visit the Cathedral, the History Museum, Casa de la Cultura, the parks in the downtown area and the City Mall. We didn't go to San José, decided to stay here, because of the very heavy traffic to get there.

    Alajuela is a nice area to spend a night or two.

    Alajuela is a nice area to spend a night or two. There are plenty of restaurants and stores around the area. The prices are fairly reasonable and that is a good thing since Costa Rica is more on the expensive side. The are also seems pretty safe.

    This is very close to SJO Airport. Great for before or after flights for that reason (I stayed after and before flights). Alajuela street layout is easy to navigate. Tons of restaurants and shops in the vicinity.

    I think most travelers would not spend more than two nights in Alajuela- 1 inbound and 1 outbound. I spent 5+2 nights in Alajuela while I was getting ready for my family members' visits spread over a few days. Our "suburban" enclave was up-to-date with modern facilities, and close to Alajuela near the Freeway 1. The location where we stayed was "authentic" with a tiny super, a cute bakery, a soda, and the most delightful neighbors. I could almost stay to learn the language. :0

    I stayed pretty close to a large shopping mall--just a few blocks away--so the restaurant options were great. I ate at "Mahalo"--great poke! The house is within a few miles of the airport, so getting there only cost 3 colones, and I took a Tuasa bus (for about two dollars) to get to Alajuela from downtown San Jose. The only "negative" is that there were traffic sounds, but they settled down when it got later. I would definitely stay in Alajuela again. I felt completely safe walking back alone at night after dinner.

    Our flight landed just after midnight. The accommodation gave us excellent directions. They told us to take an Orange official taxi , the cost and distance to the hotel. It cost 7$. Would be cheaper if paid in CRC. The taxi driver waited until the hotel door was unlocked and we were able to go in. Quiet hotel. Comfortable bed. Good cooking facilities. Nice seating area. Banks in town. Claro shop to buy a sim. Breakfast in cafe opposite good.

    We stayed here while attending the OCR World Championships at the National Stadium in San Jose. (https://worldobstacle.org/2024-ocrwch/ ) The hotel was fantastic—we had the best night's sleep and felt completely relaxed after using the pool and playing some pool. The breakfast was delicious! Even better news—Harry Jeffery (uk_ocr_harry ) actually won the FISO World Championships and is now a WORLD CHAMPION! Thank you for a great stay
