I looked at these. I had totally forgotten that you had put them there are the beginning. I looked at the website for the Hotel Colon and it looked really nice compared to what we have been seeing that was not too expensive. It said we could have a standard double (sort of looked like two beds pushed together) for 120 Euros + 7% VAT. That did not seem too bad since for the same price the things I looked at the other day seemed depressing. I did not look at the others on the map as I was just getting too tired, but I will. I am glad you remembered and mentioned it.
