San Jose - Hotel Recommendations

[Junky11]

Anyone know a chica friendly hotel near the zona that has parking? Seems most downtown hotels don't have parking. I can get a hotel near the airport with parking but how willing are ticas to ride out to an airport hotel? I don't know maybe thats not an issue.

Anyone have any information on this Hotel. Chica friendly, close to anything etc. I am heading there at the end of June for 4 days. Thanks...

Does anyone know if the former Hotel Gran Via is still girl friendly? I believe the place may have a new name/ownership? Is there a girl fee? Would anyone recommend staying here now?

Thanks,

NB

The first chica is free and the second is $25.95 plus tax! Rooms were $50 a night. New name is Hotel Marguita(sp) but the La Gran Via sign is still up.

Sleep Inn. That was it. Well thanks for the info on the chica fee think I will try sportsman then. Also how far a walk is sportsman from del ray. I am a bit of a walker as it allows me to take in some sites and get some excercise.

Depending on how fast you walk Kozak about 7 or 8 minutes. Keep in mind that both New Fantasy and Zona Blue are just around the corner. Also within a 5- 6 minute walk. If you walk by Zona Blue across the street up the block about 50 foot or so is a really good Peruvian eatery with great food.

Hi All,

Planning on heading down to SJ in May and wanted to ask if anyone has the name of the hotel that is next to the del ray as you go towards the park. I vaguely remember the name as being an american chain but cannot remember. Also anyone have any info on the Sportsman Lodge, I remember it was a good place also. Any info is appreciated.

Kozak,

That would be the Sleep Inn it is a greenish kinda of color building on your right hand side. They charge a $25 chica fee so i you plan on bringing chicas back I would stay at the Sportsman's. As there is no chica fee, has a great bar with decent food, and chicas on site. Kinda like a mini mini Del Rey!

Morazan or Sleep In?

Thanks for the 411. I'll try both e-mail and phone.

You can email them at info@costaricamorazan.com or call them at 011-506-222-4622. Calling them is best as their email response is spotty at best Basic or Standard room should be about $41 including tax. As you do not need the coupon anymore that is always in the Tico Times Newspaper.

Going to San Jose I would like to know if there is any activity close to the Radisson Europa Hotel and Conference Center in Calle Blancos.

Anyone have contact info to make a reservation at Morazan? I tried their website, but it won't take my info on their "Contact us" page. Found a phone number for them on another hotel page, but could not get through.

Thx

I like the Balmoral, two blocks from DR (across from Presidente). I got it for $58 plus tax for my CR trip next month.

Hello Gentlemen

I would appreciate a little help. I am coming to San Jose in Mid May. I stayed at the Del Rey last time and would like to try something different this time. Unfortunately, Sportsmen's Lodge is sold out. Can someone please recommend another girl friendly hotel that isn't a dump? Thank you.

It's difficult to read and it's time consuming to fix.
