DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica
"Great hotel and the hotel stay is not expensive considering the area. It's one of the nicer areas. My only complaint is the prices in the hotel are about double what you pay at local stores. I would buy more at the hotel if they dropped the prices. But you are paying for convience I guess."
