San Mateo Hotel & Travel Guide\n

You won't find many places to stay on Travelocity in or around downtown San Mateo. We recommend you book early if you want to stay close to the action.

A good choice amongst only a few rooms within 2 miles (3 kilometers) from the business district of San Mateo, is the Hotel Iguana Verde.

Check out the Zephyr Palace or the Stay in Costa Rica. The Zephyr Palace is 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the heart of San Mateo. The Stay in Costa Rica, is situated just 20 miles (33 kilometers) away. Alternate hotels and apartment options are the El Silencio Lodge and Spa and the Macaw Lodge an Authentic Ecolodge.

If you have time left, you could travel to other places in the Central Valley region. Travel through Central Valley's ruins, art museums and nature museums. Anyone with a love for the outdoors should take the time to enjoy its rural landscapes, forests and mountains. Popular pastimes in this particular part of Costa Rica include hiking.

Alajuela is 20 miles (34 kilometers) to the east of San Mateo and is where you'll find Central Park and Zoo Ave. Alajuela hotel establishments include the Xandari Resort And Spa and Pura Vida Retreat & Spa. 25 miles (44 kilometers) to the east of San Mateo, you'll also find Heredia, which features the Real InterContinental Costa Rica at Multiplaza Mall and Costa Rica Marriott Hotel San Jose. While in Heredia, make sure you visit the Walk of Flowers Mall and Universidad Nacional.

During your holiday, spend a few hours enjoying the spectacle with local sports obsessives at a local game. You'll find Saprissa Stadium 30 miles (50 kilometers) to the east of San Mateo. Any sports fans that hope to find a Travelocity-listed hotel near to the action can choose from the Hotel Grano de Oro or the Crowne Plaza San Jose Corobici.

If you are planning on flying through Juan Santamaria International Airport, you may plan to book some accommodation at Hampton Inn and Suites San Jose Airport, or Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport, both of which are a short trip away.
