After a long day travelling - one flight with Avianca and two with Copa - we landed in San Jose before 4 pm but by the time we cleared immigration and picked up our bags it was almost 4.30 and we got stuck in the evening rush hour - 2 hours to cover 15km on the main 6-lane highway into town.
Since we have spent quite a lot of time in remote locations over the last few weeks, we decided to have a weekend in the city and are staying at Hotel Presidente which is right on Central Avenue - San Jose's main pedestrian thoroughfare. The hotel is a little old and tired - although it has a brand new industrial/loft style lobby - but comfortable enough and everything works - although the WiFi can be frustratingly slow at times.
One advantage of being downtown is the availability of good places to eat and we treated ourselves to a meal at Tin Jo - an upmarket Chinese/Asian restaurant which has been around for about 40 years. Great food, with a choice of Chinese, Thai, Indian and south east Asian - good service and a very friendly atmosphere. Definitely one to come back to - and less than 10 minutes from the hotel.
