Has anyone stayed at the Hotel Alegria or the Hotel Portuence? They are hotels recommended by Rick. We won't be there until the end of Sept., but some that I was interested in are booked. I'm looking for a good location and under $300. TIA

I prefer to be closer to the water. I've stayed at hotel santa justa and am getting ready to book with them again for next year.

I recently took the Rick Steves tour in Portugal. We stayed at this hotel:

I was happy with my room, the staff was friendly, and the location was very central. My extra two nights cost considerably less than $300 per night.

Just to mess things up, we stayed at the Hotel Avienda Palace (it is in Rick’s book) which was beautiful. It was a short walk to the waterside. They had a lovely breakfast. Our only complaint would be there was not a dedicated resaurant. They had a lounge with seating and low tables. There was a piano player and a few nights we had appetizers with drinks as our dinner.

Unfortunately, the Hotel Avenida Palace is $373/night when we will be there. I've been looking at My Story Tejo, too. It's about $290/night. The prices all go up when we will be there.
