The hotel is pretty average. Lobby is nice, there is buffet breakfast everyday as well as a la carte, an attached casino, and a gift shop. The staff are very nice but the hotel is far from a lot of excursions. It was my first time in Costa Rica and I thought I did enough research but apparently not. Try to book your own excursions because the hotel concierge does not know much and it was very expensive booking through them. My advise would be to stay closer to the mountains as almost everything is there. But, there is a wildlife refugee less than ten minutes away from the hotel by Uber and I definitely recommend visiting an Indian restaurant named Taj Mahal, which is also in close proximity to the hotel, that is a must try. Definitely take sweaters and long pants in your traveling backpack because the climate varies in different areas and the temperature drops at night in San Jose.

I was in San Jose for business and a little pleasure. The Sheraton is a beautiful property; the staff was very pleasant, the property was immaculate, and the food options were very good AND there is a great mall in walking distance. I highly recommend it.

Sheraton, San Jose Review

Our stay was excellent. Our assistant Alex Bell an was very helpful. He gave us ideas for places to visit, times to commute to the destinations and general advise about renting a car vs using Uber for visits to distant locations. Alex was very personable, polite, kindly, considerate and helpful.

It’s important that someone at your front desk speaks English at all times. A guest like myself should not be frustrated because there was no one at the desk who speaks English when I call. Need to work on that!
