Hotel Colonial
Colonial Hotel is located downtown San Jose, very close to many important governmental buildings, museums and parks as well as nice restaurants, stores and supermarkets. It is an elegant restored neocolonial mansion that once belonged to the owners of a well-know furniture store in San Jose. The house has many elegant details such as hand carved mahogany beams and tropical redwood floors. All rooms have ceiling fans, telephone and cable TV; some of them also have air conditioning. Some additional services available are laundry service, money exchange, luggage storage and free wireless internet access.

Hotel de Montana y Restaurante Suria
Suria Hotel de Montana offers you 20 rooms built in an area of great scenic beauty, surrounded by mountains that shelter one of the most spectacular cloud forests of Costa Rica, the San Gerardo de Dota Valley. Our rooms blend in perfectly in this delicate and unique environment, respecting the surrounding nature. The area of San Gerardo de Dota is a pristine area, where development has been very careful, avoiding mass tourism like the one that has happened in other destinations. Endless tropical cloud forests, mountains, rivers and evergreen valleys await for you. It also borders the Los Quetzales National Park, which in turn is connected to the endless region of cloud forests and tropical jungles of the Los Santos Forest Reserve. Welcome also to one of the world's best birding getaways. The Standard rooms (36 m2) have either a garden or mountain view and accommodate 3 or 4 people in one double bed and one single trundle bed or 2 double beds. They have a closet, a portable heater, a table with 2 chairs, an extra blanket, a bath with hot water, a furnished terrace, a coffee maker, and a hairdryer.
