Hotel Recommendations

I know Airbnb isn't for everyone. Hotels can be more accommodating to your needs. I will suggest some hotels within the walled city however, these hotel aren't very large and get booked fast. The majority of the large scale hotels are located outside of the center of the walled city. They are about 6-8 min away driving. I only mention this because most of all our activities will be within the walled city.

Recomendación para Hotel

Yo sé que Airbnb no es para todos. Yo entiendo que hoteles puede ser mejor para tus necesidades. Yo voy a recomendar hoteles adentro de el centro de la cuidad aunque no son muy grandes y se alquilan rápido. La mayoría de hoteles grandes se ubican afuera del el centro de la cuidad. Es como 6-8 minutos de distancia manejando. Yo solo comento esto porque la mayoría de las actividades van a ser adentro de el centro de la cuidad.
