A comfortable pause in Escazu

A swim, a little time in the solarium and an evening drink in the lounge can turn a city stop into part of the vacation at Hotel Holiday Inn Escazu. This modern four-star hotel sits in Escazu, a short drive from San Jose, giving travelers a comfortable place to pause before continuing their Costa Rica plans.

great hotel

Erik S.

Nice last-night hotel. It was further from the airport than I was expecting, but it still only took 25 minutes to get there.

Charles C.

We were only there for the night. There really wasn't much to assess.

Guest review

Staff was helpful and restaurant was very good

Guest review

This hotel was great! The room was spacious and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. The hotel is located inside an outside mall which gave us the opportunity to walk around and select a restaurant for dinner. We loved the fact that the next day we had just 30 minutes or so to get to the airport.

Guest review

It was good.

Guest review

The hotel was very accommodating and check in and out was a smooth process. Breakfast buffet was good.

Guest review

Beyond Expectations... Staff arranged for a cab to/from the hotel and Shopping centre and special arrangements to have breakfast ready at 530am!! Many thanks.

Guest review

Great choice. The shops and restaurants nearby were great and I'm sure the room was much nicer than an airport hotel option. Still close enough to the airport and a very relaxing night.

Guest review

Your basic, very nice hotel. Just needed a place to sleep that night.

Guest review

Holiday inns are the same everywhere ; good but not great

Guest review

Our room was very comfortable, staff accommodating, and dinner delicious!

Guest review

More of a business hotel, but it was clean and nice to stay at.

Guest review

this was the day we flew In and we stayed at this hotel, however we would have been okay driving to our first destination instead of staying here. There was nothing to do here and we had to walk to get to a store or restaurant. that's not a big deal but it was a whole day of sitting around waiting to be picked up the next day. it was basically a wasted travel day, so we could have kept traveling to the first hotel instead of staying here.

Guest review

Rooftop pool very small- manage expectation by informing guests beforehand

Guest review

Close to the airport. Able to spend the day in the city on public bus
