Ive stayed at all motels and seem to go back to the Freebird....my last stay was when Boyd was still at the HLH, its was a pretty good experience I just thought it was a bit noisy...I didnt like the interrogation at the front desk when I came in late.... |

I've thought about staying there but think its a pretty sleazy area. The rooms are decent. Why were you interrogated? |

I booked a room at the Del Rey for my first few days. First time staying there for me. I think it will be cool being in the belly of the beast for a few days  . Then I will move somewhere else once I get situated.I know about all the chica fees, etc |

I have stayed at the Freebird many times . I found the area completely safe and the rooms are the best value in the gulch . ( No Chica fees )The owner Dennis has turned out to be a good friend and is a fantastic host . |

I messaged Guy via facebook and the reply I got a few days later was that they are unable to book at this time. I was asking about booking between the 24th and 30th of January. No further update given. Plan on staying elsewhere would be my recommendation. |

I dunno, maybe I'm an extra-deep sleeper but the noise didn't bother me when I stayed there. The thing to watch out for is the windows that front on the bar area. The maids tie the curtains back when they clean the rooms in the daytime. If you're not careful you could end up giving the entire bar a free show.

Check with Hotel Castillo. It was the only place I stayed during my last 10 trips to Costa Rica. |

The Hemingway Inn may have space on short notice. Convenient location, good prices, medium quality. |
