Our arrival in San Jose was uneventful. We picked up our rental car and successfully made it to our first hotel; Orquideas Inn.
Let me just say that this little boutique hotel is one of the nicest places I have stayed in recent history. The hotel gardens are beautiful. The restaurant has a great menu and the food is delicious. The best breakfast in town is included in the price of your room and served on the patio by the pool. The fruit is fresh and the eggs are cooked to order.
The owner is obviously infatuated with the late Marilyn Monroe and the restaurant and bar is a colorful collage of photographs of her. The rooms are comfortable and reasonably priced. They don't offer wi-fi, but they do have a PC that can be used by guests with free internet access.
If you travel to Costa Rica and plan to spend any time in San Jose, I highly recommend this hotel.
Fred is a permanent resident at the Inn. He is hybrid macaw that was born and bred in captivity.
