When we first arrived and I saw the words Best Western I was dissappointed - but I couldn't have been more wrong. Our room was gorgeous - overlooking the Gondala park. The decor was beautiful and the windows had lovely shutters and the windows opened fully with a window box full of flowers. The bathroom was huge! The breakfast was... more
