I can recommend Maleku Hostel in Alajuela (Hostelworld entry). It’s comfy, and located a short drive (2 km or 5 min) away from the airport. Also, they offer:
Free shuttle to the airport (from Hostel TO Airport, starting 5am to
5pm)
…so it’s a great place to stay before a morning flight out of SJO.
There are private rooms available (from USD 25), so I think it’s good for families too. (I stayed in a dorm and paid $12 (March 2011), but looks like it’s $15 now.)
As for other low budget options, there’s also Alajuela Backpackers, with slightly mixed reviews.
Hotel Mi Tierra (2nd Ave., Alajuela) is family friendly and has some good reviews, and it’s about 2.5 km north of the Airport.
