The Log Porto Hotel by Piamonte Hotels
I stayed at this hotel for my birthday last week and enjoyed my time there. The only issue that I had with the hotel was the spotty Wi-Fi. It was great in the lobby but in my room, it would disconnect frequently.

The best part was the location. Walking distance from everywhere, right before the tunnel which is where the traffic begins. Will stay here again. Breakfast buffet pastries are great. Sometimes they have passion fruit.
