Our hotel was full of ants. We left the hostel and still had ants crawling on us. They didn’t clean the room before we used it. The trash was full from the previous person.

We enjoyed the location of the hotel in the center of town. It was a quiet location. The restaurant was gourmet in quality while still reasonable in price. Internet in our room was a little weak. If we sat outside our door it was fine.
