What guests think

The Costa Rica Tennis Club & Hotel combines a convenient, safe location by La Sabana Park with secure parking, but several reviews note dated rooms, variable maintenance, and cleanliness that ranges from spotless to disappointing.

Many appreciate access to pools, tennis courts, a gym, and a broad sports complex, as well as on-site dining. Service is typically friendly and helpful, though a few report lapses and noise disturbing sleep in some rooms, plus weak in-room Wi-Fi. Breakfast feedback is mixed, from delicious to basic with limited choice. A practical base for active travelers who prioritize facilities and location over modern rooms.

A great hotel to stay at that’s near the national stadium for a concert (Paul McCartney!!!). The interior is a little dated but safe and clean with a friendly, helpful staff. You also get access to the amenities of the Tennis Club; 2 pools and indoor and outdoor tennis courts! A great deal in a great location!

I read several reviews about how bad the parking is, and how dated the hotel rooms are. They couldn't have been more wrong! There was plenty of parking, it is very secure, and the hotel rooms are fine. Yes, they are a little bit dated in some respects, but nothing that ruined the trip. The location is great in San Jose, and the facilities are all in great condition. We didn't swim in the pool but it looked very clean and beautiful. And it was never crowded.

Disappointed with the stay. Room was very basic and not particularly clean. The room was on the ground floor, facing the parking area and windows were opaque glass, so certainly not the 'garden view' we booked and expected. Quite noisy through the night and then strong cooking smells from very early in the morning. There is a sensor in the room which emits a very bright white flashing light every few seconds. Bedsheets thin and towels threadbare. Staff were efficient and very pleasant, and the facilities seemed excellent. Plenty of parking spots and the place is very secure. Breakfast was ok, although the choice of juice OR coffee seemed strange. Hopefully other rooms are nicer, I would certainly avoid the ground floor rooms if possible.

I rate this facility 5 star for tennis fans. I talked to the manager. He is a really nice person. The facility is in the process of renovation. I got the chance to see the completed room and they are really amazing. I would definitely recommend it and plan on going back

Never a good experience when a huge roach wakes u up at 3:30 am crawling on your back while u sleeping. Saw several others about so they must not clean well and was a lot of small flying bugs tgat cami inside from the rocky “patio” area. Carpet hasent been replaced in years but it was a secure and a place to rest up if u don’t mind lil critters.

The whole place is awful, smells bad, rooms are small and outdated. Only stayed because a friend suggested I should, but never again. The view from the narrow window, the barb wire, anyone looking for a prison like setting, they’ll find one here.

Utilizamos el hospedaje pues mi hija tenía una cita muy temprano en a mañana en SJ. En general no es malo, pero las instalaciones son un poco viejas. Las puertas del balcón no cierran, así que pasamos la noche con algo de viento y frío. El restaurante cierra muy temprano, a las 5pm.
