I found the loud obnoxious tools much more annoying than the train when I stayed at the Amistad. Loud drunken parties done with doors wide open and/or in the hallways. Screaming to each other down the hall. Clomping up the stairs with two chicas making a huge racket. All in the middle of the night. Assholes....

Glad to hear there is someone out there who agrees with me. I like to party as much as anyone else, but in my room with the door closed and without shrieking in the hallways. Actually there are effective ways to seek revenge, but I would rather not stoop to that.
I do not mind the chicas clomping down the stairs in their high heels, if they wore running shoes they would lose some of their charm--most of them are short already :D .

I always love the sound of clicking high heels on polished tile floors. Reminds me of Christmas as a Ch*ld hearing reindeer up on a roof top. Ho...Ho...Ho. Somebody is getting a present. The trains do suck at La Amistad but dont let one little thing push you away from a great establishment. Wear ear plugs if noise bothers you or just drink until you pass out.

Ive stayed at LA 3 times in various rooms including 310 (lots of windows and balcony) and never once been bothered by the trains. LA is the perfect spot if like a chill refuge with good food and amenities. Being a short walk to SL and hlh adds to the value.

I have to agree about the loud, disrespectful phucks at La Amistad. Sometimes, it is phucking ridiculous. Last time I was there, two weeks ago, some older dude was ready to whoop some ass in the hallway and I would have had his back. It is not a phucking frat house....... I think it is the desks responsibility to keep the peace. But, being tico and not wanting confrontation, they do nothing.
I really like the hotel and staff, but between the trains and assholes at night, I am in search for another hotel. Tried most of them and they are worse, or don't like our kind....... Pura Vida.

Add a 3rd to your list - pisses me off too :) Just another example of rudeness, and preventable stupidity :roll:

With the possible exception of the Holiday Inn (which is a non starter now) EVERY hotel I've stayed in San Jose has had noise issues - especially the car alarms that seem to go off all night - luckly, I'm not a light sleeper.

The best place I've stayed in for a good nights sleep is Pico Blanco, in San Antonio de Escazu (not too far from the old White House/Bachelor Mansion) - but its a 30 min trip to downtown, and geographically undesirable - but the elevation, clear, cool air, view - and the silence were nice.

I have heard that Hotel Castillo is quiet, but I can't direct you to a particular room, I'm sure it varies.

Stayed the weekend in 312 at La Amistad. Beautiful large room with sauna, jacuzzi & balcony, BUT....won't choose that room again. Windows face the east & there's a lot of light coming in in the morning. Train was noticeably louder than in 106 (my usual haunt). Still didn't really bother me, because it woke up the chica who stayed with me TLN & nature took it's course... :mrgreen:
