Post subject: | Don Carlos Hotel |
A friend of mine was in SJ last week and said the Don Carlos bar opened on Sept. 12 and that they were going to allow working chicas in the bar and hotel. Also supposedly long term plans are to open a casino in the DC as well. He also said he had heard that the DC had 8 hotel rooms available. It would be great if this happens and provides another option for us to enjoy. |

It makes me think of how the SL properties may have looked BEFORE they became the SL. Lots of common area, lots of stairs, even a fountain. If you look at the last few pictures (43 - 47) you will see a Whiskey Barrel Bar. |

New name for the Don Carlos, and so far just some of the rooms being rented out... but nothing else is in operation...restaurant or bar, etc. As far as I can tell. |

I haven't stayed there since it was the Don Carlos and there was no AC then, but none was needed. Back then the natural airflow along with fans was all that was needed. This is true of a lot of old buildings until they are "modernized" by closing off open air spaces with plexiglas roofs, blocking breezeways, etc. Hotels do this to reduce noise impact on neighboring properties.

Like the time I was told some building was made from melting down the cannons from the French Revolution. First, the cannons were more valuable as CANNONS than as building materials and why were the French sending the cannons to Costa Rica? And to be used as building materials? |

Back before someone had the brilliant idea to turn the entire SL into a bar it had some personality too. I'd much rather relax around a small table instead of having zero options but to waste on a barstool. Nice property but seems maybe a dubious location? Will be interesting to have options to the same old thing. |

We do need more options, HDR closed, La Amistad up for sale, Hotel Little Havana closed for reservations, I have hope for the mongering scene in the gulch. |

CR is constantly changing and they migrate to different locations. Ask the girls, they will tell you. Beetle bar closed in Jaco, HDR closed in San Jose, but the girls migrated to a different location. And that’s not an exhaustive list of closures either. I could go on and on. |
