San Jose General Reports

The only downside I saw to HLH was if you want food you need to order out. But that didn't seem to be a problem as when we were there delivery people were constantly stopping in to drop off Chinese or pizza or whatever. They have a full bar and tv's for sports so that would be the only missing item, a kitchen.

There is a kitchen now open 9AM. 10PM daily.

Just got back from a week or so in san jose. Weather basically sucked. Rained every single day. Outside the city wasn't as bad. Jaco was pretty empty during the day.

For action the Del Ray was the usual scene. Chicas asking for 100 but quickly negotiating down to 60, 70, or 80 depending on looks. Pretty much a buyers market down there. Lot of desperate girls looking for a quick score.

Sportsman's we found to be more fun in general than the fish bowl scene at the del ray. Good spot to grab a bite, watch some games, and pick up a fun girl.

Spent some decent time at hotel little havana and it's under new ownership. We actually chatted with the old owner who was on his way back to chicago having sold the business. Rooms at the HLH look pretty decent and you get a good discount on chicas if you stay there. They also have a nice cigar area setup run independantly by an expat. Very friendly gentleman and he gets some fine quality products in to sell. Good spot to waste some time and relax. Girls at HLH were decent and fun and the place in general had a very fun sort of feel to it. If that's your thing I'd reccomend.

OK. The Balmoral must also have a dress code just like the Presidente. And they do that for a specific reason. To keep the hookers out.

So simply find another 'more chica friendly hotel' that does not charge a $ 30. 00 "guest fee". Which by the way. Is totally stupid, to begin with. For every "two guests you take up to your room:. You be getting a free 'pop' at a hotel which did not have a 'guest fee'. Think about that.

There are lots of pretty good hotels in San Jose. You do not need to stay where they will frown upon your activities and charge you extra.

Most if not all the girls are aware of the various hotels' rules. They carry bags big enough to slip out of that short dress and put on a pair of jeans. Problem solved.

I understand your point and you are absolutely right. The problem is I'm going for the Halloween party at the Del Rey last minute and all the chica friendly hotels are booked. This is the only one I could find that day.

I spoke with the hotel and went ot their website. The website and they say they do allow guest but the must be dressed a certain way and you must pay $30.

The Balmoral Hotel (which is across the street from the Presidente Hotel. Does not cater to mongers. It is an upscale type of hotel for business travelers, and families. You would perhaps be the only monger type fellow there. And pretty much 'out of place'.

The Presidente no longer wants any monger business also. They enacted a dress code for women recently. A few months ago. Which pretty much rules out a guy taking a hooker up to his room. They too have gone family and business traveler friendly but not chica friendly.

I would recommend a couple of hotels for you where you would be 'right at home'. First the Castillo Hotel, the Sportsmans Lodge, or the La Amastad Hotel.

Check them out. They have web sites. And they are all chica friendly and none of them has any extra 'chica fee'. Which by the way is just another way for the hotels to put the $$$$$ screws to their guests.

I called and they said the allow chicas but there is a $30 fee. The Del Rey and others are all booked for when I want to go so I have no choice. Has anyone actually stayed there recently?

When are your dates? I can probably put you into a decent option when you come down.

Do the allow hookers to go to the room at the Balmoral? Is there a fee?

In the past I found that it was not chica friendly. Anyone have any recent experiences there?

[CultureShock]

Even more clean now, they're re-doing all the rooms, sort of euro style. No smoking in the rooms now, or they'll fine you $100. Great free buffet breakfast in the morning too.

I have stayed there many times. Very clean. No problems.

I've stayed at the Del Rey three times in the past two years. Some rooms are better than others, based on what you're willing to pay. To the extreme are the top floor rooms with a balcony (which isn't private) , those are more in the $150 range. I pay for the $100 room and ask for the outer rooms as high as I can get, like the 5th floor, minimum. Used to stay at the Balmoral,

But they're in the $80s range and have a guest fee of about $15. I stayed at the Morazan once, and thought it was a dump.

Why the HDR? Because I can get my drink on, charge it to my room and not worry about walking around with a lot of cash.

Just get on the elevator, go take a quick nap, go back down and get right back in the game. Some people go there to find the cheapest hotel, cheapest pussy. I'm not one of them, not in the 1% either, LOL.

Thanks for the report Nix.

I took a room at Morazan. The room is ok. Nothing special. I chose this place mainly because I got a good deal with the flight / hotel package. The room ended up costing only $40 a night (including taxes). It was all built into the package.

The HDR looks ok. One-stop shopping. Room upstairs, girls downstairs. I asked about their guest policy. Its $11 per girl to take up. Thats the second reason I chose the other hotel.

The girls were ok last night. Something for everyone. All shapes and sizes. Almost too a girl from he DR. But I was there in June, so I took her number for later. She started at $100 and came down to $70 for 1. 5 hours. I took her number for later in the week. Ended up grabbing a library looking 30 someting chica. It was about 3. 30am when she came over to talk to me. She offered her services for $50. I asked her what she likes to do in the room. Told her what I like. She agreed and off we went. Decent time had by all. Looking for something better today.

There were some hotties the the HDL last night also. They wanted $100, I told them that was too caro (expensive) for only one hour. They were cool for the most part, but I could tell a few of them thought they were worth it. Not in my book.

Thanks for the update! Just booked for first week in February. Looking much forward to it!
