Yes, but it doesn't work very well. Some, if not all of the rooms have ethernet jacks too.

I bring my own cable and no problem. When I go wireless I go the sitting rooms by the stairs and did ok there. On the first floor I get good reception in the restaurant.

That is some most excellent advice, Nhhank!

I have stayed at Amistad more times than I can count and always on the first floor. Internet is always most excellent with excellent download and upload speeds.

What the Amistad CANNOT control is when the provider's service to them gets funky, which is mostly due to maintenance in Barrio Amon. If you experience a bad connection, simply tell the front desk. They'll know if it's a provider issue or something inside the hotel. If it IS inside the hotel, they'll address it at once. I know the hotel has spent a great deal of time updating and upgrading the wireless routers as well as boosters to address access drops in the nether regions of the hotel.

All rooms are hard wired as well.....you don't have to use your Wi-Fi feature: Ask for a connection cable at the front desk.

In fact the room I use there is as close to the train as you can get. Yes, there is one prick conductor who blows the horn irrespective of the guys holding the signs out on the tracks, however, I'm an early riser and it's never really been an issue for me.

People will lick whore pusssy and ride bare back, but cannot deal with a dinky train whistle? Incredible. 8) 8) :P

Awwwwwwww.......NONSENSE is what I say to that! You lived in the City as I recall and put up with FAR louder noises than that dinky train whistle. I own me a house in Kenilworth, Illinois that is worth good money. Big deal. It got 3/4 acre back yard with a big ass stockade fence. Guess what is on the other side of that fence? RAILROAD TRACKS for the METRA heading into Chicago. When I first lived in that house I said "Self, what the fuuckk....? You got this expensive ass house and a damn railroad train? You was a CHUMP to buy." Ya get used to it to the point where you don't hear shit....just as you did when you lived in the City! Even with the market the way it is, that house has still damn near tripled in value since first purchased. People constantly bugging me to buy the damn thing and it isn't even on the market. Why so many people want to live in a house where there is a commuter rail line right behind it? Answer: Ya get used to it. It bees part of LIFE. (granted, we got us Village ordinances all over hell and back DO NOT BLARE THE HORN IN KENILWORTH OR WINNETKA!!! Then we got snipers in the trees taking pot shots just to keep the conductors on their best behaviors....).

Play it SAFEEEEEEE Zunbake3: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22956090/ns ... ancer-men/ : "The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women is poised to become one of the leading causes of oral cancer in men, according to a new study. The HPV virus now causes as many cancers of the upper throat as tobacco and alcohol, ... researchers say."

That HPV is what generates chlamydia. How many them fur burgers you munching on got chlamydia? I'm betting a good number of them....

Back to the internet at Amistad:

Find me a better internet connection amongst "our hotels" in San Jose, and I'll give it a run for it's money....

I live very close to the train in Sabana Sur and it no longer wakes me up in the morning and I don't even notice it in the day/evening. BUT, It took some time to get accustomed to it.

Since you are used to it at home, it makes sense that it may bother you less than others while traveling.

It took me less than 3 days after I realized just how sweet life was and is in Kenilworth, IL. I don't spend much time there now, however. I got this LOSER life-time tenant I can't get rid of.....my Mommy. Doesn't even pay the damn property tax. Nothing. She has her own money, too!
