Our stay at the InterContinental Hotel Multiplaza was a perfect finale to our Costa Rican adventure. From the moment we arrived, parking was a breeze, and dropping off our AVIS rental car couldn’t have been more convenient—ideal for travelers trying to make the most of their final hours. The hotel’s location is spot-on, directly across from the Multiplaza mall, which was a lifesaver for picking up last-minute gifts and essentials for my daughter. The mall offered a great variety of nice shops, all within easy walking distance. Our room was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed. The only hiccup was the shower handle, which kept falling off during use—something that could use a quick fix. Other than that, the space felt modern, comfortable, and truly upscale. A real highlight was the breakfast buffet—plentiful, delicious, and diverse. We especially appreciated the thoughtful takeaway breakfast spread arranged for our early morning airport departure. It’s little touches like this that set a hotel apart. With 24-hour services, friendly and attentive staff, and a secure, well-kept environment, we always felt both welcome and safe. The on-site shop even had some lovely souvenirs, perfect for those last-minute memory-makers. Overall, the InterContinental provided a smooth, classy, and convenient stay. We’d absolutely recommend it—and we’d happily return.

Not worth the $500

Arrived at 11, they said that room wasn't ready but would be and they would priority the cleaning. We came back at 1, room was still not ready but check-in wasn't until 3 so we were okay, we arrived again at 3 and room was still not ready. We left and came back at 5:30 and room was still not ready. We didn't get into the room until after 6pm. Room was not as advertised. No sitting area, not on top floor. Not sound proof. There was a wedding and the music was blasting until 2am. Very very disappointing. Also, lobby smelled like paint thinner. We asked to talk to a manager and they said manager was too busy to talk to us.

I was asked if i wanted the breakfast and happy hour. I was told it was $60 a day. After I realized i did not need it the last day due to checking out at 4am. I tried to get a refund for the last day. Then was told since i agreed to the breakfast and happy hour that was for the upgraded room. That was NEVER communicated to me. To make matters worse, this so called upgrade room had roaches in it. After i complained i got moved to a suit.

The bed was old and horribly lumpy, as a couple we were forced to sleep apart because there was a huge ridge in the middle of the bed, and completely sunken on either side. We barely slept because of this. Absolutely not fitting for a hotel of this price and category. The room also smelled musty from the air conditioning. Overall a very big disappointment, especially for the price I was charged. The only redeeming quality was the food, which was quite good.

Intercontinental San Jose Costa Rica

It was a quick two days after spending several days in Quepos. I went specifically to use the spa which is wonderful and the treatments were worth it. The only problem I had is that for 500 a night with club access, I found the rooms to be poorly maintained and the service not that helpful. The bathtub smelled of urine and the cold faucet was broken. The windows were very dirty and the shower door leaked water with every shower. The shower doors were dirty too. Nobody offered to help me with my luggage which I had two suitcases and a backpack and I was alone. For a 5 star hotel I expected a bit more of a warm greeting. The pool is very nice and kept up well and the morning breakfast and happy hours were nice. All in all, it was decent. The spa made up for what the cleanliness and service of the front desk lacked.

The hotel is very well located. I booked a room with a pool view but unfortunately, the person from reception gave us another room with no nice view. If you try to call the front desk or even room service you will be lucky to get through, the hallway was dirty, and when we arrived to the hotel no one helped us with our luggage not even a welcoming greet, was not what I expected, until now I still have problems with my payment, the hotel still has my preauthorization charge and not my final charge after my departure.
