Here in Los Angeles you can't even find a dingy prostitutes motel for that kind of money so be Thankful that so many nice things in C.R. are as inexpensive as they are.
Piroca, we are not talking about Los Angeles. There is no reason to be "thankful". What are are you talking about?
Pegaking, I stayed at the Amon Plaza in November. The rooms are great. Nixon is extremely courteous and helpful.
But about the rate: 49*1.23 = 60.27. Not $65.
I can SWEAR I paid $55 a night. I paid Nixon in cash, and I don't have the receipt. But I specifically remember handing him $400 for an 8 night stay, and being surprised to hear the price quoted a little higher than $400. He said the price included tax, I handed him some more money, but it was not $120 more. I am 95% sure of that. I know the price with tax ended in a 5, but I am at least 95% sure I paid $55 a night. I could be wrong, but I don't think I am. And I only played in the Casino once, and that was my last night when they finally had a poker game going.
Anyway, if the price was $65 I would still stay there. I sometimes got the feeling that certain employees were not happy about me bringing in chicas, but the staff and rooms are both great. Also, there are no chica fees. There is only a charge for a guest if you are giving someone else a key, so no guest fees unless you are crazy.
I also got my laundry done there. I remember it was $2 for each pair of socks, which I thought was a little high. But in Beverly Hills its probably higher.
In fact, I just found my receipt I have from when I paid my outstanding balance at the hotel. The room charges are not listed because I paid them in the casino. These are the charges for laundry and the minibar (hey I was thirsty) which I paid the receptionist when leaving. Tax is listed as 13%. The subtotal was 20427 colones (lot of laundry I guess) and the tax was 2656, which is 13%. $49 * 1.13 = $55.37. I am pretty damn sure they charged me $55 for the room.
