Old hotel that recently acquired a new name and owner, Don Kike is accessed via a pizza restaurant that leads onto a pleasant courtyard where clusters of plants keep the concrete at bay. Charismatic little rooms surrounding the garden have exposed wood-beam ceilings and colored bedspreads. A simple, but reliable bet that's very near most of the bus companies.
