Don't know but I've heard the same thing. A guy I met who was in San Jose for a while for some dental work said he went to watch sports there pretty much because he had the place to himself. Said the setup was great for watching sports though.

Do not make me post why that phucking place is so dead. :D :D :D Hopefully some decent people will soon own it! May be a good expansion for HLH in the future. :D I was hoping that the HLH crew could buy the Clarion. Now that would be something! The Del Rey would be second string.

One of the reasons the Dunn Inn is dead is a Manager named John Gomez. Just the opposite of Boyd at the HLH. Unfriendly corporate a-hole! Another reason was the stopping of live music months ago. Real shame, I loved staying in the new rooms. Sorry for Guy Grand who is a great guy!

Why the animosity towards the ownership?

Did I miss something?
I have been there a few times and the drinks are cheap enough and the bar food is decent.

I agree with the other poster that they have a good setup for sports viewing.



Bob, I don't know if you are "trolling" but in the event your post is sincere (and since I get a kick out of your sense of humor :) ) I'll give you the short version.

Dunn Inn hired Boyd of HLH fame in a management capacity to promote the Dunn Inn in conjunction with their remodeling and expansion a couple of years ago - everything seemed to be going well and many were thinking DI was going to be a "boutique" version of Hotel Del Rey.

The buzz was great, and a lot of it was attributable to Boyd's efforts (he did a great job) - well, shortly after the grand reopening, Boyd and the DI part company .

This was a shock to many - sentiment, especially on CRT was clearly on Boyd's side, DI management was awful for the termination, b/c it looked to many to be unfair, unwarranted, and just when the efforts were paying off, DI management was perceived to be getting rid of the person most responsible for their new success - although always 2 sides to every story, mangement took the bad publicity on CRT.

Regardless, they have never seemed to regain that positive buzz and energy present right after their re opening - and looks like they don't have a customer base to operate a res't, casino - and the bar is often dead - so right now - and things can change overnight - it looks like they spent a lot of money and - right now - are not getting a return, although the hotel gets good grades, and seems to be doing OK (but it was doing Ok before they spent all the money on the rest and casino) - so who do you blame? Management.

And aprapo of nothing, I also have heard good things about Guy Grand - but I can't get past every time I hear his name or see it in print, I'm reminded of a '70's porno star :roll: :lol: :P :lol: :)

Now that I'm reading how dead it is, I might have to check out the sport's bar during the NBA playoffs. Nothing like having a room full of tv's to yourself. :D

I too like the bar, it is quite and they have fast internet. I seat there often doing work. But when I am looking for chica's I will walk across the street to HLH. For watching TV there,,,,, You will never get them to change the channel. They do not even know how to work the remotes.

The CRT brotherhood saw it as an insult to a brother - BKtuna. In the same way as the CRT brotherood sees your Vegan Bob handle as an afront to a brother - Vegas Bob. You got a similar but just not as significant of an attack for your affront. We all thought by now that you would finally get it and do the right thing. Unfortunately you and the Dunn Inn management seem to have similar traits - totally oblivious to the insults of your behavior. oh well.. :roll:
