I am planning another trip soon. Does anyone have current room rate at Morazan? Thx.
what i do is call the hotel 506-222-4622 book the room for your dates tell them you want the 35.00 deal...and before you check in go get a copy of the tico times (it has the coupon for 35.00 per nite) and have it with you while checking in. Thats the rate i have gotten for my last 4 trips with no problems but what ever you do dont use any items out of the mini bar ...total rip off they charged me like 7.00 for a soda and 1 candy bar...

Sportsman is really unbeatable. Phyliss will be missed. The lineup is better than in the past.
The food is decent. The tv's are great to watch games.
Cafe Mundo around the corner is very good and reasonable.

Just off the Avenida Central Plaza, 3 minute walk to McDonalds, Pizza Hut, across from National Bank with ATM's. Near the Gold Museum and Opera House. 4 blocks/10 minutes down the promenade to HDR, Key Largo. Casino on first floor, Bar/restaurant on 2nd. Not a lot of gringos but they speak English. They are not going to hold your hand or bother you, this is just a nice efficient clean hotel, if you already know your way around. Nice, clean, large rooms with 19 inch TV, hot water, a/c, like a Holiday Inn Express. $37 Single $44 Double. Chica friendly or more like they don't care. Security guys in the lobby due to casino. Never saw them ask, but if they ask just say you are taking your friend to the bar on the second floor and proceed from there.
Remodeled, Renamed, Prices Doubled (quoted $85 A Night)
For the guys who are unfamiliar with the layout of San Jose:
I'm a Marriott wh*re - I support them nearly 100% of the time because I get such good service & so many upgrades and points. I selected the Marriott for my stay in SJO unsure if the location would be good or bad. I got a decent rate ($140) and was upgraded to a full suite. I also got free breakfast & dinner in the concierge lounge.
The property is beautiful and there were a few obvious mongers staying there - saw them in the concierge lounge with their "friends".
Unfortunately, even considering the excellent service, amenities, free breakfast & dinner & sodas I would not recommend this property for those who are primarily interested in mongering. Bringing your wife? Then it's great.
It's a very short hop from the airport (though they still charged me $10) and there's free shuttle service back to the airport. Unfortunately, the Marriott is so far removed from the gulch it's a real pain in the ass. About $15 taxi fare each way whether you use a hotel taxi or a street taxi. I was only there one full day but still made two trips to town (early afternoon & evening) and was therefore out an extra $60. That's a big deal in my book. Sorry Marriott.

Well Dan,
If you like the Marriott, there is a courtyard Marriott located in Escazu(right in front of plaza Itzkasu) right off the highway. The rooms are ok and from what i remember the rates arent too bad either. its 1015 minutes from the Gulch about 2500- 3000 colones each way.
Just out of curiosity, any Marriott chica fees and if so how much?
Folks
Thinking of going down to CR around Thanksgiving and was looking at the Intercontinental Real - I spent some time on the forum, but did not find any reports about it?
Is it Chica friendly? How far from action?
It says it is across the Mall - is there any non-pro action to be had in the malls (a la Jakarta?)
Any thoughts would be appreciated!

I've never seen one at any Marriott property though I once got busted bringing two gals back in Sao Paulo & had to upgrade to a suite. Otherwise all they want is a copy of the ID & they treat them like your significant other. Very professional.

I am just back from a 35 day trip to Costa Rica.
Spent 30 days in Quepos housesitting for a Canadain couple. Great house, lovely pool, and all FREE. Nice deal, but I got kind of bored being in one place for so long.
For Cheap - below $ 20.00 San Jose Hotels.
I usually stay at the Nuevo Johnson Hotel on Calle 8 at 2nd Ave. Private room w/double bed, color TV, hot water bath, daily maid service, etc. - only 4200 colones or about $ 10.50 USD a night.
I have read that the Hotel Asia has just completed renovations, and as they are just around the corner from the Hotel Del Rey (and one would not have to take a taxi from one hotel to the other) I decided to give them a try this trip.
Their rooms were 5000 colones or just about $ 10.00. They had been remodeled and had the tile floors, hot water bath, decent double bed, but no TV in the room.
So I opted to go back to the Hotel Johnson for a couple of nights. This Tico hotel is a real good bargin if you only want to pay around $ 10.00 per night to get a safe and comfortable place to sleep. It's not as comfortable as the better hotels....say in the $ 40-50.00 range, but as I just need a place to catch a few Z's and take a shower, it's OK for me.
I have observed over the last couple of years that prices seem to continually creep up in Costa Rica.....for most everything. I have just about decided that I now need to concentrate my Central American trips on going to Panama....where prices are not yet as "tourist-driven", as they are in Costa Rica.
Great place to stay. Decent restaurant, and very good service in the hotel overall. Very good at making arrangements for transportation, business services, etc. It is in a nice part of town. There is, I understand, a 40 fee for visitors.
Just got back from SJ and stayed in one of the best mongering holes in Central America, Hotel Zona Blue. There has been some discussion on this board regarding ZB as one of the best MPs in SJ, but nothing about the renovations that has created 4 or 5 suites above the bar. Scoring one of these rooms is having access to the best bachelor pad and is a memorable stay for even the most experienced "mongers."
With all the new competition for upscale accommodations in SJ; Hotel ZB can certainly hold its own. While every room is a little bit different, each has a king-sized American bed (easily the most comfortable I have experienced in SJ); dry sauna, steam room; an awesome entertainment system (CD/DVD with multiple speakers); large Sony WEGA TV's; fridge; water cooler; modern and stylish furniture and fixtures; and access to some of the finest chicas right down the stairs.
Eddie and his staff - especially George, the night security man - did every thing to ensure I had what I needed. While some may relish the "hunt" of the DR and KL, I greatly valued the security and controlled environment of Hotel ZB. All the girls were sexy, had great attitudes performed with gusto; I never experienced a bad session. Moreover, I never felt unsecured with the girls in the room or felt I had to watch out for my belongings. This "piece of mind" allowed me to focus on the fun and went a long way toward having many great sessions.
Someone suggested that Hotel ZB should leave Viagra on your pillow instead of mints or chocolate – it's that kind of place. I've been to Thailand, German FKK clubs, Prague, Amsterdam and other well- known hobbyist destinations and I've never experienced a weekend like the one at Hotel ZB.
BTW, cost of the room was $195/night (about $220 after taxes) which included breakfast (at the Amon Plaza one block away – great buffet with made to order eggs), and $20 per chica for an hour session in your room. Also, some of the suites have two rooms, so costs can be shared with a wingman (but I'm not sure of the pricing). In short Hotel ZB = the true "pura vida" experience.
