Can anyone recommend a hotel, not too far from the Gulch, which has a room with:
    *a queen or king size bed,
    *an in-room Jacuzzi,
    *air conditioning,
    *chica friendly
    *for less than $100/night.

Looking for something like the HLH Suites, or a Presidente Spa Room.

Can be a hotel or B&B.

Any suggestions?

I think the Jacuzzi is asking a lot for under $100. The other 4 shouldn't be a problem at Sportsmens, Amistad, Amon Plaza, etc

That, my dear Orange, is the reason for the question. :wink: The others can be had for less than $60.

If you knew it wasn't possible, why ask the question? :P

Forgetting the Jacuzzi, which of those three would you think is best. I have been to SL and seen one of the rooms, but have not stayed there. (Most of my time has been at the Prez and the HotelM.)

Found one but it has no a/c. Thought that the CRT powerhouses might have some ideas, particularly in these challenging economic times. They can't all be easy questions! :D

The new wing (not Mansion wing) at SL is very nice. The Amistad is newly renovated so it's nice. The Amon Plaza is similar to an American chain hotel.

Actually, you can get their jacuzzi room for just over $100 I think with the CRT discount. But I'm not 100% sure.

Matt, the owner of Amistad, is a stand up guy. He may be able to do something for you. He made this statement in a recent post.

Cool. That's the sort of advice I was hoping for.

Cyrano, Matt of the Amistad has posted about new renovations at the hotel, check out the new penthouse rooms with jacuzzi. With the CRT discount they should be close to the price level you want.

Also There is a question about rooms, sizes, types, location etc. Matt has put together this little breakdown of the various room rates, Etc.

La Amistad Room Descriptions:

For the CRT Member's, Member's are always asking questions about our rooms. A list follows for room type, amenities and prices as of Feb 1st 2009

Rooms that contain King Beds ($79 per night)

Room 210
Room 211
Room 102 (handicap accessable)
Room 307
Room 301

The following rooms are Penthouses (all are King Beds)

Room 312 ($139 Per Night) Contains a dry sauna and Jacuzzi. This is the room with the balcony. It has recently been remodeled. The wet sauna and large closet were removed and replaced with sofas, loveseats, new furniture, microwave, wine fridge and Normal fridge. A 42 inch LCD flat screen has been added to the room. Room 313 ($65 per night) is an ajoining room with seperate bath, bedroom and sitting room. The bed is slightly smaller than a Queen due to room shape. It can be combined to room 312 or rented seperately.

Room 311 ($119 per night) Contains a Full Kitchen, seperate sitting room, seperate bedroom and two bathrooms. We are planning to remove the second bath and install a dry sauna. The room contains a 46 inch plazma tv in the sitting room and a 30 inch in the bedroom

Room 310 ($119 per night) This is the loft penthouse. Currently the bedroom is in the loft section. We are considering moving it below and moving the sitting room upstairs. please let me know your thoughts. Currently there is a sofa that sits about 10 people comfortably, fireplace that is wood buring, (but we only will allow candles for safety reasons, a large closet and desk. We will be removing the closet and desk and adding a dry sauna and jacuzzi in 2009.

Rooms 201, 202 and 203 (Priced from $119-$149 per night) are the new penthouses. All will contain a two person jaccuzi with 28 jets and dry sauna. They are different sizes and shapes and upon completion i will update with individual rooms. All will contain sitting rooms and King beds.
We are accepting reservations as of the 25th of January for the new rooms.

Rooms 106 and 212 are studio apartments ($99 per night) These rooms are being modified as we speak to include a King bed and jaccuzi. Both contain a mini kitchen (stove top, fridge, toaster oven, microwave...).

All other rooms with the exception of Room 105 and Room 207 contain Queen beds ($69 per night). Room 105 and 207 contain a full bed (priced at $65 per night). All rooms contain refriderator, safe, a/c (with the exception of one) and 30 inch TV. We made the mistake of using carpet in some of the rooms and are in the process of changing them to ceramic tile in 2009. We will be adding carpet runners and oriental rugs in common areas to control noise of high heels.

We are scheduled for an inspection in Jan 2009 for the final approval for the bar. In the event it is not available by Feb 1st we will open it up to guests to use as a bring your own beer and wine section. Working Girls WILL NOT be allowed to solicite in the common areas, but as always will be welcome when accompanied by a guest of the hotel, bar or restaurant. As always they will be required to show proper identification and proof of age.

We will not be changing our discount policy for CRT members (15% off daily, 25% off weekly and 35% off monthly stays. We will be offering 10% off at the bar and restaurant when opened.

I hope this clarifies room types and styles. Please feel free to contact myself or the Hotel for any problems or questions.

There are a couple of rooms in the mansion wing at SL that almost meet your criteria, with AC, chica friendly and jacuzzi. Tigre and Zorro are $119/night, $107 with CRT discuenta. They are outstanding rooms and IMO, well worth the price.

Ciaociao

Junior Suite at the Morazon, but only 501 has the king, if you can get it, and they make good on the reservation.

Thanks, but the Morazon has played games with me before on reservations - wanting me to pay twice - so I would tend not stay there again. (Reported it here: https://costaricaticas.com/phpBB2/viewto ... ht=morazon) They just handled the whole thing very unprofessionally.
