Beautiful hotel. I wished we were there longer than just overnight.
11/17/2016
Our room had a private courtyard with a fountain. We enjoyed a bottle of wine with our friends and had a great time. This hotel is very unusual, but in a very good way. Would definitely stay there again.
10/21/2016
They upgraded us to a Suite. The staff was extremely friendly and overall they made us feel very welcome.
10/10/2016
room was a little small. We had to be moved to another room after getting settled because the shower did not work
10/06/2016
Most memorable, friendly professional staff of all the places we stayed (though the others were good too, this was the best).
07/09/2016
Restaurant was excellent and staff was very friendly and helpful. The only drawback was the double beds were too small and made sleeping uncomfortable compared to queen/king beds.
05/18/2016
This is a beautiful, historic hotel, with an impeccable staff. The gift shop offered some of the finest gifts and artifacts that we had seen in CR, and they were reasonably priced. The neighborhood did not lend itself to walking at dusk.
05/16/2016
The food at the hotel was very good!
04/30/2016

02/15/2016
Beautiful place, but the restaurant prices were out of this world expensive ! The staff at the door were able to guide us to some local food places that were great.
02/06/2016
Very nice!
02/05/2016
Neat hotel. Not much around.
11/30/2015
This hotel is amazing! You are welcomed by the staff with wonderfully warm smiles and they all very readily answer any questions you may have. From the doorman/security, concierge, dining staff -- this experience was A+ fantastic!

Great to be back at the Grano de Oro again. Loved the rooftop hot tubs and the dining room.
09/09/2015
Great place to stay
07/26/2015
The hotel is very lovely in a very unimpressive part of town. (I don't know San Jose at all!) It was beautiful, clean, we liked our family suite & it was very comfortable for 1 night. It would have been nice to have a few choices for restaurants, because it was a bit formal for our children (21,18 & 15).
07/03/2015
This one was a bit of a surprise. We were not expecting what we got.... one of the neatest places we have staid and we have traveled a bit through the world. Room was smallish ( we had their basic room) but very comfortable! The food..... outstanding! We were not eating breakfast there in the plan but we did just to see what they had to offer! STAY HERE if you can!
06/21/2015
Wish we could have stayed a little longer.
05/07/2015
Loved it! Enjoyed the upgrade so much! Would have loved to have been able to stay on.
05/03/2015
We requested a room change as the first room did not reflect the website description of a deluxe room with an adjoining courtyard. The hotel restaurant is excellent with a commendable wine list and most impressive interior. The food was of a high standard and the dining experience is memorable.
12/20/2014
Waiters in the restaurant were rude. The hotel room was tiny and lacked amenities.
