“This San Jose option strikes me as a blend of urban accessibility and garden tranquility, given its proximity to La Sabana Metropolitan Park and Parque Diversiones. The inclusion of practical features like free private parking and in-room flat-screen TVs aims to enhance stays. However, reports of inconsistent upkeep and service suggest that managing expectations is wise; the fundamentals are there, but polish seems to vary.”
