Gents,

The three most standard places to hunker down seem to be HDR, Presidente, and Sportmans.

I would like to put this out there for my fellow CRT'ers. Which one and why? Please list pro's and cons.

Hey Bro, I been reading post on this subject for over a month now. Search and spend multiple hours reading. After that you will see its personal preferance. I stayed at the SL my first trip. I thought about staying somewhere else but there are too many benifits at SL. Small establishment with everything needed there. Girls, food, alcohol, security, nice clean rooms, CRT members, and a wonderful staff.

Everyone thinks different and has different standards. I just asked a similiar question and it all depends on what you expect in a Hotel Room.

There are a number of threads on this board that compare and contrast these 3 hotels. To make your search a little more simple, here's a link to one such thread:

...And here's one more that focuses primarily on the HDR:

thanks zombo. the reason that i posted a new topic, is for people to list their individual pros and cons for the 3 hotels stated.

for example, my friend who is a frequent CR visitor, always books the 6th floor suite at DR and also a room next door at sleep inn. he does his mongering at DR and then gets a nice night of sleep at sleep inn.

me personally, i have stayed only at the DR. i loved the non-stop action (the bar scene, the broads, the casino, the drinking, good breakfast buffet next door). having said all that, i never got a good night sleep at DR and the rooms kinda need serious updating.

I have stayed at both as I am sure that many have. i prefer the sportsmans. you can walk to the del ray (in the daytime) the rooms are much nicer, better food, more laid back, girls in the evening, high speed internet computers, I could go on and on. the staff goes out of their way to take care of you. Bill is a super guy. now, they have a check in for girls which is good too. no comparison IMHO.

IMO sleeping while in CR is something you should only do when your body can no longer remain upright. You should be out before you land on the mattress and wake up with your stinky socks on ( unless you have a chica for TLN). HDR has alot of sexy latinas in the lobby. SL has some sexy latinas too. Prez has ghostly white gringas with hairy pits. Their vaginosis can be smelled from across the street . I recommend the hotels that have chicas on premises. The chicas also prefer these hotels.
