This is a good move by SL...and it really doesn't detract from the laid-back, fun-loving atmosphere at this fine establishment.

In fact, I get very uncomfortable when they DON"T check them in. Hotel Castillo is a little hit and miss in this regard. When they are not checked in I feel like I have to pay extra attention to what the girl is doing when I have my back turned. It really sucks when you go to the bathroom to take care of business and you have to worry about what is going on in the next room.
My experience at Hotel Castillo has always been very different than what Kccostarica described. I have been a guest at Castillo a number of times, and the front desk never failed to ask for a cedula (which is retained until the chica is ready to leave). I always feel secure knowing that the staff is doing their best to protect the guests. Of course, once inside the room, I always take reasonable precautions (like locking valuables in the safe) to minimize the temptation for theft. On at least two occasions, when I did not escort the lady to the lobby, the front desk called my room to make sure everything was "tranquilo" before handing over the cedula.
