first of all this website is a blessing. i've learned so much just reading. i'm going to san jose in few weeks and was wondering about the budget hotels. i hear that nuevo johnson is $15. has anyone stayed there. if so, is it clean? the more i save on hotel, the more phukn i can do. i'm 31 and been to dom rep, brazil, and thailand. lookin forward to cr.

One of the best things you can do is get you a CRT VIP card, it will pay for itself on discount you will get for being a member, it will also give you access to more info, that way you can ensure a better trip. I've only stayed at the SL, so cannot coment on the other hotels.

you might even talk them into 10 bucks if you pay cash in advance...

If you want to step up a little bit, there's the Hotel Freebird and Hotel Tiquicia, both CRT Sponsors. Check'm out in the Hotels Forum or the CRT discount page.

Ditto Brother C'dude's advice on joining us. Not least is the maps to find all the popular venues. Membership is not a cost, it's an investment.

All I heard is the Nuevo Johnson ist hat is clean and secure but rather bare bones.... may not have roon safes but bet the front desk has one
If you want a cheap place to stay for a day or two I bet you will be OK
I have a problem with the location of the place... it is right down town.. what 6 or8 blocks to the DR
But it is in an area with many people only streets and getting to the place by taxi is not easy if you do not know where you are going... MHO
If you will be in town for a while ... stay there get to know your way around and perhaps move to another hotel after some recon
On another note lots of the chicas come from very poor homes so hot water is a nice thing

Although a low budget alternative, look to stay someplace else for a few dollars more if you want to increase the probability of a GFE.
