not to sound funny style but if you look at the sponsors you will see that there are many options for lodging. most if not all are in walking distance of hdr. for price you can go 25-30 bucks a night to 200+. if you get vip you can use it towards your stay. as for pics, some girls care some dont. some want money, some love the camera. also depends on if you are really into pics or not. they seem to give a little more wiggle room to pro/semi-pro pic takers than to joe blows. lol. anything else. take advantage of this good book and read.

If you all are ok staying together, I would go for executives penthouse. Runs about $50 per person. It is about a dollar or two cab ride from del ray.

Excellent suggestion from Brother Newbie2010. Check EP's classified ad for ino and special deals. They are a CRT Sponsor.

I would not rent a house. We got dupped into renting a house. The pics looked nice, but when we got there, the place smelled, there were yellow stains on the mattress, the sheets weren't big enough (so the stains were visible), there was dial-up internet (the computer was older than me also), the whole place hadn't been cleaned in months, and the worst was that it was 30 minutes from SJ (I don't remember but I think it was $10 taxi).

For the money you'd waste on taxis, you can get a decent room in SJ. Try Morazon, it's a block from HDR. The rooms are like $50/night.

I would not get 1 room for 3 guys.

Hemmingway Inn or Hotel Castillo.

"Shared" bathroom means that it is shared by multiple rooms, i.e. no private bath, typical of hostels.

The Amistad's penthouse and "apartment" rooms only have one bed.

Dunn Inn's standard rooms are also $50 a night with CRT discount., Amistad's are a little bit more.

You can also get a a suite at Hotel Little Havana, $169, one guy gets his own small bedroom, the other two either share the main bed or one sleeps on the floor.

Why not get the Executive Apartment for the 3 days they're available and go somewhere else for the other two days? Dunn Inn and Hotel Castillo have rooms around $50 and suites that you may be able to arrange 3 people in.

Castillo has rooms for as little as $38. If you offered $200 for 3 rooms for 2 days (that's $33/night), they would take it without a doubt.

Yes that pretty much describes the amenities at Morazan too, but at least they have Ricky Ricardo at your service.

I would recommend the Freebird. If 3 of you already dont mind sharing a bathroom. The Freebird would be Ideal for you. Check out their Website.

I would not recommend the Tiquicia.

Remember Brother Gunnerx7, to hold on to that rush, that thrill of your first time here--you can't ever get it back. And yeah we're all about sharing here with a minimum of bushwa--that's why this is a premier Board. Each one teach one.
