Hotel Mondego
Room was good except the bathroom door was broken and would not close. We got very lucky with street parking out front. Breakfast was good.

Hotel Oslo
Breakfast was excellent! Exceptional staff! Small pastry shop across the street had coffee available in the wee hours. A lot of small shops in the area were closed, so not a lot of tourist activity. Good walking shoes are a must for anywhere in Portugal!
