I am thinking about staying at the HLH in early Feb. I would ask these questions to them directly but I didn't see an e-mail link listed on there website. I have a buddy staying at the DR and I think it will be fun to have a couple of expreiences going on. Anyways here are my questions:

1) I'm pretty sure that things slow down at HLH around 8. Can I brig a chica from the DR if so desired?
1A) Is there a guest fee?

2)Are the suites really worth the money? I think a person would be fine with $99 per night max on a room.

3)How has the talent been at HLH lately?

Thanks in advance CRT brothers.

I was there in November. I took back 2 babes from the DR and didn't have a problem. The chica fee was $10 for each.

As far as the talent, I thought it was decent. I saw a few that I would definitely hit.

Overall, my room was nice, but it was a regular room. I didn't do the suite. The bed spread was a little discolored and I saw 1 or 2 roaches in my room towards the end of my stay. The guy who runs th place is really nice and I think he was working to improve it.

My 2 cents...I have stayed at HLH a couple of times. Once in a suite, Bolivar and once in a reg. room. The suite is nice, but really not worth the price, especially since they raised from $25 to $35 per chica per hora if you stay there(at least I think that is still the in house rate). It was marginal at $25 to be worthwhile and that was doing 3 to 4 per day! IMHO there are better options at that price and much cheaper.

As for the hotel itself, yes the people are great. But it just lacks something as a hotel. It is wicked quiet after 8 or 9. No food, or a very small continental breakfast in the morning. For me, check out SL, LA, and DI before HLH as a hotel option. And many others IMO.

As for the girls, it is constantly fluid. Some work consistently, some don't. Some take off to la playa on a moment's notice, some don't. Some show up to work, some don't. Get my drift? Overall, there is usually some nice talent to session with, but it is another reason why staying there seems like a waste if you dont like the talent at your time of stay. I say all of this having enjoyed my stays at HLH. I just really believe your hotel $$ would be better used elsewhere. Of course YMWV.

I've stayed in the Cohiba suite during one trip, and one time used one of the smaller rooms for a session when all the regular session rooms were booked ( ). The suites do have a mini-sauna and a shower/steam room, which are popular with the girls since the old ZB's steam room and sauna got removed with the remodel into HLH. They also have king beds and a small extra bedroom. However, they are not really true suites with a separate living area, and are lacking furniture like a sofa, table or desk (unless the rooms have changed since I stayed there). The lower rates are more in line with what you get, but the $35 rate for the girls reduces the value. They were really worth it back when the fee was just $20 a girl, one could have large multi-girl sessions. Now though there are better suites available at the other hotels for the same price or less.

Does the $35 cover eveything?

Yeah, instead of the normal $46 to use a session room, it's $35 to bring them to your own room. Doesn't include the $20 (or more) tip the girls are gonna want though!.

Ok, some don't ask for extra, but many of them do.

Do they threaten bodily harm if you don't give them extra?

$20? A good tip is 5k max!

The Pamela-trained group will want $20, or even $40, which is how it was like two years to one year ago, but as my last CR trip was in early March, things might have changed. I stopped doing the Pamelaura duo (and triples with another girl) when they wanted $40 each; Pammie was noticably unhappy with just $20. Soon thereafter I stopped going with Pamela or Laura period, even solo. On my last trip my new favorite there, Clarisa, was busy one time and set me up with Jenny, who was relatively new then. She was great, and never asked for a tip at anytime, so I didn't give her one. Pamela obviously found out about it and on the next day or day after, she, Laura and Clarisa gave me the third degree over it. I just essentially said "Phuck yeah I didn't give her anything, and still won't!".

Thanks for all of the intel guys. I booked a room there and will be coming down mid Feb. I'm ready to leave tomorrow however...just an but my handle changed as I upgraded to VIP!
