I wouldn’t say it was as expensive as the Bay Area, though. You can’t find, say, a Baldi spa hotel like experience in the Bay Area for $100/night.
- leesalminen 4y agoThere are pockets of CR that from a tourist's perspective can feel as expensive as the Bay Area. There's a whole industry that caters specifically to that. My wife, son and I live a US middle-class lifestyle here and our total expenses are ~30% cheaper than living in an expensive part of Colorado. It's certainly not cheap, but we could definitely pare down expenses pretty quickly if we needed to. I love the Bali themed hotels in the mountains here. And yes, we've paid ~$100/night for this.
