Must have been that the La Amistad seismographic network was down. Now they have two things to work on. And, if by chance a meteor shower happens to hit within 10 miles of SJ during my next stay and the Astronomical team at the LA doesn't leave me a message to take my umbrella out with me, I think that will be it for me. I will start booking my stays at Hostel Marruecos where they have the best wake up service in town (Colombians, I think?). :)

And I may be reading more into it than is there, but I do believe they consider the basis of the lies to be justified."

After reading this post, I am really looking forward to my first stay at the (im)famous La Amistad. But, will that bridge be built soon? Sounds like a nice convenience, and with the seismological service, and the umbrella lending . . . . wow, sure beats the Holiday Inn!

Disappointed about the wake-up call service though, that would be a nice touch.

Whoever posted about the attempted double dipping was bang on. I'm a dyed in the wool Castillo lover, but I'm seriously thinking of giving La Amistad a try, I've only ever seen good things posted on here about them.

Doug Cdn, nice to see someone from my neck of the woods (sort of) on here. 8)

Who can blame a guy for trying to save a buck? The whining when it dont work is childish. What do you want to bet this baseless Amistad bashing shows up on trip advisor or somewhere else.

I got to stand up for the LA

Matt and the staff go out of there way to make sure their guests are comfortable, satisfied and if possible happy. I extended my stay at the last minute and they made my same room available. I was headed to Nicaragua and they made a great hotel referral. I made reservations at the last minute to return to their hotel and the held my room even though my bust was late and I did not get to the LA until almost 1:00 a.m.

So I have to give Matt and crew their props. I will stay there again,

I booked an extended stay in October online and the room I wanted was not available the hotel called me 20 minutes after my online request. So I settled for another room and I am very happy with their service and response.
