Feedback on Hotel Del Rey -
Hi all,
I have some very current info, as I'm planning a trip Aug 15-18th. I've stayed at HDR before, and as I recall the rate for a Standard room on my last trip (2006) was about $60 per night.
It's nothing special and very loud (who goes to San Jose to rest?), but you are right in the mix of one the prime hunting grounds.
Fast-forward to this week, and I contacted a few hotels about my upcoming trip. They quoted me $390.00 for the 3 nights, plus tax 16.39%. My total would be $453.92 before adding any chica fees. This was for a Standard room; not the penthouse. I was shocked!!!
Thanks to my membership here ($39.00) I've been able to read up on some other options. I booked Sat & Sunday at Sportsmen's Lodge (I couldn't get all 3 nights there) and then booked Friday at La Amistad.
The rate at SL & Amistad is $65 per night, not counting the 15% discount I'll get off the Amistad room rate, 10% off the daily room rate at SL, and any other VIP discounts such as food at SL or any of the other discounts available. Also, these hotels don't charge a guest fee.
I don't post a lot, but I posted this to illustrate the value of the VIP membership to anyone who has not already joined.
I'm looking forward to my upcoming trip. Of course I'll visit HDR and the Blue Marlin, but only to make new friends and leave...not to stay there.
Perhaps the HDR is taking the same 'Cien' stance as the Ticas
