So I'm coming down March 2nd-7th to have 4 implants screwed in my head. I'm currently booked at the Suites Cristina in the Sabana area. I get a cash discount being a patient of Dr Kriebel. {$70 cash a night)

Question:
is are there ticas in that area? or is it reasonable to pull them from somewhere else and bring them back to SC?

My procedure is Tuesday so I figured I probably won't be wanting to get out or to freaky Tuesday and Wednesday. I was thing if it was going to be a PITA at SC I might stay at SL or Taormina Sunday and Monday....


I appreciate any input!

BRB,

Sorry I can’t help with your specific questions but just to let you know that there is a great Italian restaurant near Suites Cristina (actually I think there is a physical connection between the two) - name is L’Olivo. It’s one of my favorites.

Good luck on your dental work.

Woozo

BRB - I will be around those dates ... your Best option tho is to call anonymously and ask the front desk if guests are allowed ?

Or you could arrive scope it out and see if it's possible to enter premises and to your room w/o passing front desk.

Example maybe your room entrance is outside in a courtyard vs inside passing a front desk ... either way keep in mind the property is going to have security cameras everywhere and you & your guests will be seen.

Pensions as well as Short term hotels by the hour and fantasy rooms are other options if Suites Cristina is not guest friendly and girls are familiar with these short term options.

If you google them and look at their web site you will see they have a single front entrance and all the rooms have interior doors so there is no bypassing the front desk. You will also notice their published room rate is $84 and they give a 10% discount if you just type in the discount code that pops up when you visit the website. The doc's special $70 discount rate is not that special.

Given the shortness of your visit, I would recommend staying at the Taormina on Sunday and Monday. Check out the Spurtsmans for future reference. Don't expect much activity at the SL on those days. The Taormina is a little more expensive than SC, but you can bundle breakfast with your room rate. Plus, and price difference will wash against the cost of Taxi/Uber from Sabana to the gulpch.

Phuck yourself stupid for Sunday and Monday and you can remember it on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Better yet, cancel the doctor's visit and stay at the Taormina all 4 days. Who needs teeth, you have 28 other ones!

Thanks Boynton! Ya it's the front four teeth... While the short term of a week of CR lov'n would be great!Pictures after the trip would suck! Ha. FYI Suites Cristina will let visitors in. They have to register at the desk and $50 per visitors.... Man that's gotta be awkward registering them in front of other guest that aren't partaking...

Wow, $50 per guest is a lot! I’ve been in a similar situation, and keep my normal hotel the whole week, but get a cheap burner hotel a night or two. Hotel Little Havana can be had for less than $50, and the Whiskey Barrel is around $35. Leave your luggage and important things in the Cristina room, rent out the HLH, have fun, and go back whenever you want.
