Update on your report / different perspective
[QUOTE=TimeToPlay;1795290]There is nothing to do around there that does not involve a cab or a long walk.
yes everyone shares a bathroom
He has no one cleaning up and the towels are old and filthy as are the sheets and pillow cases, the floors are dirty, and the bathroom is like a hostel bathroom. For some (many?) of the guys here, it must feel just like home and they may not even notice it. For me I like someone making my bed, changing my sheets, and keeping for floor clean while I am on vacation. I am not judging here, simply "reporting" as this is a reporting site.
Problems? They want a lot of money $200-250,and Jake says they earn it by giving you the GFE date. However most of them are clock watching and want to be out by 11 or so.
[/QUOTE]Yes it is a quiet neighborhood, don't hear beeping horns, bar music till 3 am-some people like being able to rest from their weary journey.
Jake has his own bathroom, the little room has it's own and there's the 1/ 1/2, so 3. 5 total.
I was there in Aug, Louisa comes in weekly and does a great job cleaning, the room I was in had a new mattress, Jake came I one day w / stack of new towels and on another day safes, another fresh flower-he does make an effort.

After making a dozen trips to CR, to the point of disgust, the never ending disappointments in everything, I do not remember a single hotel where everything worked or was as advertised. The Cocal was the closest but even the jr suite at $210/ night the sliding glass door would not close and just opened enough to squeeze through. Missing frig / hot frig, a / see that can't be turned off, 15 W light bulbs seem to be the norm.
I had learned that the best thing I could do to insure a fun trip was to have an open mind. Things I really wanted to do and expected to do were either a major let down or non-existent. But it was the things / experiences that I never expected that saved the day.
No the place wasn't like I expected and initially disappointing. But having a full kitchen, and being in a quiet neighborhood, also quieter than a hotel cause you don't have foot traffic outside your door at all hrs. The groundskeepers start at 7 am but that's a hell of a lot better than the incessant back-up alarm on a delivery truck at 4 am. And then there's the unique people you meet who you'll never forget, like Eric. And so, by focusing on the positive things, I felt that I had a better time at Jake's than I would have had in a noisy hotel where I need to be around for when the maid comes. (I used to stay at Mona Lisa in SJO).
I only went for a round of drinks, then back to Jakes, most of the time was done w / date by 10 pm. I paid every one 150 k plus 20 k for taxi as advised by Jake.
