Compostela Hotel
A large breakfast buffet which included hot food, a big bathroom with a large sink and plush towels, friendly staff, and convenient location. I had read there was some sort of shuttle arrangement at the hotel for a cost, but that isn’t true. They will reserve a taxi for you, but that’s it.
