I am going to book my hotel for 11 days in Lisbon Portugal I'm going for a wedding and then to view the sides the art possibilities. Is this hotel Inspira santa Marta hotel and spa I good one to stay at for a single person it's supposed to be close to where the wedding is going to be. Does anybody ever stayed there could you let me know if its OK. It's a good price it's half the price of the place where the wedding is being held but I don't know about it other than someone recommended it at the desk because they're hotel where the wedding is being held is booked and I can't stay there and that's $200 a night or really 180 a night . This inspire a santa Marta hotel is $90 a night at leads me to wonder. Does anybody have any suggestions? Maybe I should pick a smaller hotel not with so many floors more like gay Brown stone or something. Is that possible somebody even suggested an apartment which is a good idea but I'm all by myself so I would rather probably be with a group and the hotel. I'd appreciate any suggestions thank you for your time

hey charlotte
if you're staying that many days in lisbon i suggest staying in an apartment. you have more room to move around, relax, kitchen to have some meals, store cold items in fridge, may have a balcony to enjoy view, may have a washing machine.
look at booking.com place your filters on left side, look at cancellation rules, if early checkin or checkout can you leave luggage instead of rolling it thru streets or waiting, an mobility issues that you need an elevator/lift because if steep stairs/steps to carry luggage up. how far from wedding venue is okay and take a taxi there. what is your budget in euros? read fine print carefully, shared bathroom or/and kitchen, security deposit (if cash on arrival or credit card)

Thank you so much I really appreciate your time and patience in riding that reply and probly will help other people as well. So many good tips to make someone's vacation really exceptional. Thank you so much for posting those links and everything. I have 6 weeks and I'm going to take my time and choose a good apartment so I can cook my own vegetarian food. And not eat all that fish and meat and grease. Just fruits and vegetables and potatoes are good. In any case the art leads are also wonderful I appreciate it and I hope other people will use them as well. As a little bit of the unknown when getting in an apartment by yourself as an older woman but I think it's certainly better than those hotels when you can have a frigerator or a stove or wash your clothes. So I'm gonna opt out for the apartment the only thing is be careful and choose the right one if that's possible.
