Sleep Inn Hotel Paseo Las Damas

Located in the heart of downtown San Jose, The Sleep Inn is a budget option with a casino, a casual 24-hour restaurant, free simple buffet breakfast, and free airport shuttles within certain hours. Room service is available 24 hours from the neighboring Magnolia restaurant. The hotel’s 86 rooms are neutral, but spotless, perfectly comfortable, and quiet thanks to soundproof windows — though they are a bit dark. Rooms are well-equipped with microwaves, coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and flat-screen TVs. The hotel is surrounded by museums, restaurants, nightlife, and pretty urban parks, though the area can feel a little sketchy, particularly at night. Guests appreciate the central location and value. Travelers seeking a stylish step up and a pool could try the Park Inn by Radisson San Jose. 

Hotel Sarah Nui

The 75-room Hotel Sarah Nui is a value property popular with transit travelers due to its location a one-minute drive from the ferry terminal and 15-minute drive from the airport. This low-frills spot has little in the way of amenities, aside from a breakfast room, lounge area serving snacks and drinks, and free, reliable Wi-Fi. Although low on frills and showing lots of wear and tear, the rooms have cheerful decor, small flat-screen TVs (with one English-language channel), mini-fridges, rainfall showers, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Poor soundproofing and dim lighting everywhere don’t help the property escape the budget feel, but its setting near onward transit and the popular Papeete Market (a 10-minute walk away) make it a convenient option. Travelers looking for additional features and a bit more local character should consider the Royal Tahitien.
