There needs to be a toilet brush, my toilet handle had brown stuff around it which makes me believe that the cleaners are using a cloth to clean the toilets as there is no brush. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Good shuttle services fromthe airport. There are restaurant's located opposite to the hotel. Hotel is located 5 min drive from airport. All in all, I had a good stay.

I stayed here for my last day in Costa Rica (my first day in Costa Rica, I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott right next door). Do yourself a favor and skip the Courtyard. The Fairfield was by far a superior hotel from the condition of the property to the staff. The staff there was very efficient and helpful. This hotel offered complimentary breakfast whereas the Courtyard did not. Strange since Fairfield ended up being less expensive. When I mentioned that I would not be able to partake in the breakfast because I would need to leave early for the airport, hotel staff offered a to-go breakfast. It was just juice, a cookie, and an apple, but was a nice touch!

The redtursnt food was amazing. My family and I prefered to eat every day rather than eating out. The service from.the staff was outstanding. My only complaint is the absence of microwave and refrigerator in our room.

This is a nice hotel very close to the airport, with free shuttle service. It's next door to Walmart and across from 4 or 5 little restaurants. The breakfast buffet was also very good.
