    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.

    The area is fun and easy to get around.

    The area is fun and easy to get around. There are many small stores, but no good supermarkets. TONS of cafes and fast food places, so getting something to eat is easy. I'd go there again, but there's not a ton to do unless you enjoy sitting in parks, which I do.

    I don't think you can get closer accommodation to the airport for the price. This was my first night in Costa rica and did not understand how they used the toilets but it's a norm so educate yourself. The shower was a first as the shower head doubles as a heater with live electricity in the shower, which too is a norm in Costa Rica. There is a local shop just beneath the stay that sold me the best chicken burger I've had. This place is for a convenience traveller that don't need the bells and whistles like a hotel.
