1 thing I forgot about Rudy. I'm an old-school guy, in the morning I like to drink 3 cups or so of coffee & read the newspaper back home in Vegas, & I like to recreate that when on vacation. Well, each morning I would come down the stairs from the 2nd floor @ the LA,, from 202, facing the front desk & Rudy would quickly look around for "La Nacion", the local paper delivered daily to the LA that I liked to read. He would find it & hand it to me, or if he was reading it himself, he would fold it back up, despite my protestations, & hand it to me. If it wasn't there he would look back in the kitchen & try & find it for me. Mr. Randy he would say, here is La Nacion for you. Then, I could sit down with my paper, my Costa Rican coffee, & my wingmen on the front porch of the LA, talk about yesterdays' adventures, todays' plans & read what was going on in sjo & the world.
He always treated me like a king even though I was just another dumb, schmuck, monger from the usa. If that isn't the best customer service in the world, nothing is. Thanks again Rodolfo. rip
