San Jose General Reports

[JayHighFive]

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 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.

Check out the link below.

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.

[Nixonbd]

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!

This is my first trip to San Jose.

Is the Hotel Del Rey chica friendly with no joiner fee?

(I'm assuming it is but I want to be sure)

I have read a ton of posts on here about the hotels and many guys seem to go to the Sportsmen's Lodge, Hotel Morazan, and La Amistad.

I'm wondering why I haven't read any posts about people staying at the Del Rey?

Is it because it is an obvious choice or is the hotel not a good place to stay?

I'm thinking if I stays there I would be right in the action.

Any intel will be appreciated. Pipe

Hola,

Perhaps you misunderstood what I as aiming for in my comment about Bunda Mans report. I have no problem with his last report, or any of his reports. For that matter.

I do not personally know him. But we have corresponded via this forum. And he seems a very straight forward type of fellow. One of the good guys. And his reports and photos are usually very excellent.

What I was asking for. Was for Mr Jackson. The administrator to change the style of the reports some. So they did not appear in 'skinny columns'. Which for me are hard to read.

There is a whole page to use. So why not use it instead of making the 'skinny columns' snake all the way down the page.

So I was asking for was a 'style change' of the reports on this forum. And I was not being critical of anyone's reports. OK.

I agree with you. BundaMan's reports are always 1st rate. So I have no 'beef' with him or anyone else. Just a simple request. To change the style of the 'thin columns used' to use more of the page. So we do not have to keep going down the page. To read the rest of the reports.

PS.

I did not delete my previous post. Guess Mr Jackson did delete it. Perhaps he did not like my comments about the style of the reports. And "I am not trying to make waves" or "rock the boat". Just voicing my opinion on something that I think could be improved.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Jackson probably deleted it because it had nothing to do with Costa Rica. There is a "proposed site improvement" thread where you can make suggestions pertaining to the site itself. I personally like the "skinny columns".

I, for one, have no idea what you are talking about. What "skinny columns" are you referring to? I looked at Bunda Man's lengthy report (which I agree is excellent) and it covered the most of entire width of entire width of the page, minus the column on the left that contains the poster's name and number of posts. So please explain what you are referring to.

[Stevewxly]

Steve you can't be serious? Bunda Man gives a well detailed report and he usually provides pics, and you want to ***** to the administrator? If you haven't noticed there isn't alot of activity in the CR forum, but you want to slap the one dude who is proactive? Damn. Unless you are willing to provide a better report and show us some of your pictures please sit back and just enjoy it. Thats like the State the objecting to a witness who is helping his case. Let me help you out, a thank you would have been more in order as other members have done. Save your objections to Jackson for when you have a real beef. Good report Bunda man and keep them coming.

I see the post has been deleted by either Jackson or Stevie. Someone had some sense.
