I will be at Dunn Inn. A newbie and I would appreciate any help.

Da Monger, could not send you a private message. We should definitely meet up for a drink at the Sportsmans, Del Rey, Dunn Inn or etc. I extended the same invitation to Bkgee.

Does anyone know how to get the lowest rate at the Morazan Hotel? I just received a quote back for one single room at $80 per night.

I know from the forums that it is usually only $41 per night. My wingman and I stayed there last Nov for $71 for a double.

Any suggestions? And BTW, the quote said they had only one room left! I find this hard to believe. Should I just show up and hope for the best, or make the reservation now? Any suggestions? I plan to arrive 26 May till 30 May.

Hey Dan,

If the Morizon has gone up to $ 80.00 a night.....they must be hoping they will get the overflow Del Rey Hotel business...hoping it is full and they will get the leftover guests who just have to stay right in the middle of the gulch.

For that kind of money or less....you can stay at the Sportsman's Lodge... or the La Amastid Hotel, or the Castillo Hotel....all cheaper and all better accomdations. Taxis are cheap in San Jose - so it does not matter much where you stay.....except you don't want to be "hosed" by some hotel like the Morazon at $ 80.00 a room...that is stupid.

Want to be a "stupid gringo" then stay there and pay that rate !!!!!!

You might check into staying at the Royal Dutch Casino and Hotel on 2nd Ave......about 10-12 blocks from the Morazon or Del Rey...about $ 2.50 by taxi...and the last time there I got a special cash rate of $ 40.00 per night.

Nice rooms....better than the Morazon, and certainly a better price.

Get a reservation for your 1st night there...then arrive.....then see the night manager....he should be able to give you the $ 40.00 a night - cash price.....otherwise their published rates are about $ 50.00 per night.

Check on the Castillo or La Amistad Hotel....better places and somewhat cheaper than the $ 80.00 you were recently quoted at the Morazon.

I have not stayed there....but I have heard good things about the Freebird Hotel in San Jose....good rates, and a good place to stay...you might check it out.

I would get a reservation for at least the first night at any hotel in San Jose...then you can look around for a real good place and a good rate your second day...then lock it in for the rest of your stay.

Pura Vida - Steve
