Last minute booking for a fishing trip to Tamarindo! We're laying over one night in the Gulch. As you can imagine everything is booked. Trying the "Sleep Inn Hotel" Downtown. I'm hoping it's the one right behind the DR. Just wondering if anyone knows if they are Tica friendly. PLEASE HELP!!! To those in the area!!! We're flying in Thursday, Jan 11 th, 2007. Going right to Z B, then deep into the Gulch. I offer a drink to any who will join us. Last time I did this, nine dudes showed up... it was a good time... What's up TEXMAN... >>> Take it in the Keaster for Easter... <<< Still can't forget that, you are shot!

Last but not least.. Any newz on Tamarindo??

There's No Place Like Home!!! Como esta, Sweet Tica!

Mikdagg,
You can use the search function for stuff like this, search "sleep inn" and you will get threads that discuss their policies, they are mixed, some say yes, some say maybe, some pay a hefty fee, some have gotten away without paying a chica fee, who knows:

Tamarindo sucks. I'm sure you can find something if you look hard enough. It's a good place to relax and get a tan. "That's about it!"

Yes the only Sleep Inn is right next door to the DR. That's the good news. The bad news is that they try to charge you $20-30 for each chica that you bring into your room. Some here have posted on being able to beat the chica fees and maybe they will chime in.

i would say, you have the sleep inn that is behind the D.R. you can "search" for info on the sleep in...on my last trip i met a guy who was staying at the sleep -in..and he kept asking about where i was staying and if i knew any other good hotels...so going off of that i would say its not that great of deal staying there. His one comment was he liked that it was very close to the action...and they did charge him for bringing a girl back to the room (25.00) you will find a hotel room in san jose ....many , many places ....i have gone on a few trips with no set plans and had no problems ....

As I remember the loudest proponents of "no chica fee" were a tri-headed poster .

"All 3" seemed to have folded there tents when it was revealed that there was only one tent

I've stayed at the Sleep Inn and found it very good. It's quieter than the Presidente and the service was great. It was the worth the $25 chica fee for me to have the quiet in the morning. But you should stay at the Presidente at least once just for the experience.

Best Western over towards the Central Market is not bad. Check out website.

WHAT IS THE PHONE NUMBER TO THE HOTEL

It has been reported that just take your chica to the elevator and go up to the room. If you check her in you will be charged $25.
