Jacqueline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a good sized room with separate bedroom, enough space for a few nights. We walked down to the octagon and the Saturday market - a bit of an uphill walk back to the motel. Only criticism I have is that there is no air con although a fan was supplied. The room did get hot!
