I had a pretty solid experience at Hotel Sabana Inn. The staff was super friendly, and the location is really convenient for exploring San Jose, especially if you're coming in via the bus station. However, the room had a few issues that need attention, like the shower hose feeling unstable and the fan sounding like it needs some maintenance.
