And I forgot to mention one thing about Margot... avoid room 306.
The first time I stayed there, something was wrong with the phone... every time someone called the hotel reception, my phone would ring. So I had to take it off the hook, which meant I missed a few phone calls.
About a month later I stayed there again, and every time I walked past 306, the phone was ringing. So it might not be fixed to this day, which wouldn't surprise me because I tried to get them to look at it, and they'd go in the room, hear the phone ring, and announce that it works. I couldn't get them to understand that just coz it's ringing, doesn't mean that it works.
Oh, and just a few buildings up the road is a hair/beauty salon called... Piss Salon. Get a photo and amuse your friends.
