Throughout my life, I've stayed in many different hotels in many cities. I generally don't like to comment on the places I stay because many hotels have both advantages and disadvantages.
However, this time it's different....
Exceptional cleanliness, a magnificent breakfast, friendly and attentive staff.
Don't let the fact that it's a 3-star hotel fool you; believe me, you can easily find a level of comfort here that you'd be hard-pressed to find even in a 5-star hotel. Are there no negative...
