Lido Hotel
This location is outside of the city, not much to do in the area, during my 1 night stay there was no wi-fi and the staff did nothing to solve the problem.

We had everything we needed. The shuttle was the main reason for our stay. The room was a little “old”, but all in all, fair value.
