Hotel Tiquicia is an older hotel that gives you a feeling of a home. Bars resturantes are close. The breakfast was eggs, pancakes, and fruit was very good! The use of the kitchen makes a friendly area for conversations as well as cooking. It is a great value.

Hotel Tiquicia is located in downtown San Jose which is good because you get acces to everything by walk...Also you can ask anything about touristic attractions and ask for reservations...You only have to ask and they will reserve everything for you...
