Well for a guy that seems to have his pulse on what is going on in San Jose I think you have your facts abit mixed up Uh, thanks, Hank

Fire the cook at SL ... you want the job ... or have a better cook in mind.. Yes the food is not top shelf but pretty good given the size of the kithen and the volume

Simply saying, after numerous meals (and reading numerous posts how good their food is), I'm just saying I don't care for it - I've had lunches, dinners, main courses, soups, etc - and I just don't like it - nor should I be the one to have to cook it, but if I'm the one paying for it, my opinion and taste are the ones that matter - for me - also, its not my job to hire the cook

"Yes the food is not top shelf " See, if you only stopped here, we could have been in complete agreement, Hank

I can mix and match from all things on the menu... and a few that are not to build the meal I want 9:00 am -10:30 pm

As far as the vans go Gato and his brother and the other 1 or 2 have been known to rape the gringo... the tico way... make the deal first even if you think all is cool

To the guy that got hosed I am sorry, but you payed 10 bucks for a 2dollar ride... and you payed it estupido gringo

The van drivers are self employed and get what they can get..Bill has enough BS to deal with

Not the case, Hank - if you are representing the hotel by driving a van with the establishments name on it, your actions reflect on the business - the guy taking a ride and getting ripped off only knows he took a van that had "Sportsmans Lodge" on the side - he did not consider the nuances of the employement status (employee, independent contractor, brother in law of the front desk clerk, etc) of the driver - may not matter because Bill has promised in another post to rectify the situation

As to the internet problems... sure the front desk said yes.. the place has internet as long as ICE or another provider are not having problem... Did you ask about your software progam in advance....

Disclamer... I only give money to the Esportsmans and they are happy to take it

Hey my man Scuba1...I am answering.

Most people who I ask or want to tell me, say that our food is great??? To each his own, however we will strive to get better at everything we do ALL the time. Wireless can be spotty at times but not often...we have had some router setting issues in the past that I was assured are correct now. Have 30 guests at SL most days and rarely do we have a complaint at all..20 cents for local calls, ouch sorry. I will call ICE and see if they can give us a better rate.

I have sent a copy of the van driver complaint to the people who handle this for me. We will let them know "not to gouge" or bye.

Speaking from personal experience from 4 stays at the SL- You have probably never caught a 30-45 lbs. dorado, taken it back fresh to the SL- had the SL chef cook put his GREAT garlic glaze on it and grill it to perfection as I have!!!!!
