The hotel was chosen because it is in the center of the tourist area. Near the river, near the bus stop. I have looked at the reviews on the Internet. The French, Canadians, Chinese, etc.
We were sold a tour to this hotel, like a 4* hotel!!! They settled in the basement, claiming that these are STANDARD rooms on the basement floor . . Humid, stuffy, the windows are like loopholes under the ceiling.
