| Post subject: | Sportsman Lodge vs Del Rey Hotel - any opinions |
I am heading down this Superbowl weekend and my choice of hotels are the Sportsman at $69 or the Del Rey at $80. Both are standard rooms. So the question is what do I choose. Another note is that the Sportsman has the party on Sunday but I dont want to pay the $50 for beer and food so I assume that Bill is going to ask me to leave when the event begins. Give me your comments and dont mention the Presidente since they are all full with a waiting list. |

Go ahead and make that reservation at the Del Rey where the fun is 24/7. The bar at the Sportsman's Lodge shuts down about midnight. Besides, without that wristband you will not be welcome at the party because you did not pay your $50. |

Latravelnut, You're headed down THIS WEEKEND ? And you haven't made a hotel reservation yet? Are you sure that there are still vacancies at the SL and/or Del Rey ? You might want to check. I'm pretty sure that SL is sold out this weekend, but not sure about HDR. Good luck. MG |

The bar at the SL shuts down when there are few patrons. Midnite is the scheduled time. If there are people drinking it stays open to make $$$$$. I've seen it open past 1AM. |

I thought about it and decided to go with the Del Rey Hotel. There were 2 rooms available this morning. One after I booked. I'm the last minute guy and always book the air before the hotel. The reason is that since I live in LA, there is only a few months where American does a non-stop to San Jose. December to March for the non-stop otherwise I have to go through Miami which makes it a 11 hour ordeal rather than only 5 hours. Pricing is about the same so you get my point. I usually stay at the Presidente but they are always booked and have this long waiting list. They aren't the best hotel for last minute and there isn't a toll free number. |

For future visitors, if you want a really nice quiet low key place withing walking distance of everything, take SL or Castillo. If you want action, hype, noise and a frat environment pick HDR or Presidente. The choice is personality based, after all, it's all in the gulch! |

I've made three trips to SJ in the last year and stayed at the HDR the first two. Although the action is right there, the $10 chica fee finally got to me. They really do, as someone had mentioned, nickel and dime you to death. I don't plan on staying there again. It cost much less to take a taxi with your chica back to your hotel. I'd throw Hotel Castillo into the mix. I recently stayed in one of their deluxe rooms and was very satisfied. Darren, the owner, is a really good guy. They just opened a bar on site and it is very close to Zona Blue. I'd rather have sexo with ZB girls over Del Rey girls anytime. |

If I was an intenet millionaire, I'd book a grand suite on a Regent or Chrystal Line Cruise ship. then, I'd pay for a couple of fine CR Ticas to join me for a 10 day cruise. The looks of the faces of the old geezer tourists when we entered the dining room or went poolside wouuld be priceless. |

I would be inclined to use my funds in a risk free 07 SuperBowl internet wager. Probably would be placed from the Heartland USA to a Costa Rican Sport Book. No worries, its only money and freedom... Cant go wrong with the Castillo...YMMV shock: |

In that circumstance, I'd probably try Hotel M, since I've never been there and am curious. If I didn't like it, I could afford to move somewhere else. With that kind of cash, hotels have a way of not being full anymore. |
