B&B Hotel Lisboa Aeroporto
Eh, this place is noisy as can be, crowded, and the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and chemical room freshener. This was not the best choice. The front desk attendant was very nice and the staff attempted to be as pleasant and helpful as possible, but the place is not great!
