Top Central Park Hotel Reviews

Hotel Presidente

Hotel Presidente

8/10 Good
"Centrally located in San Jose. Nice, clean, comfortable rooms and a great roof-top restaurant. Staff was very helpful. A bit difficult to find because the sign is hard to see, but otherwise a safe and comfortable place to stay in downtown, close to restaurants and shops, as well as the National Museum."
