Bamako
There is a new hotel that makes Salam look like a dump... Well about a year and a half old now next to the Russian (Huge) Embassy. Seem to remember that it is called the Palace hotel.
Rooms are CLEAN by any standards and neat with good air conditioning. Plenty of hot water for showers.
Excellent restaurant in the top floor with a pretty good view to the city. Not too badly priced either. It was the best night stop hotel and very secure withe friendly staff.
IŽll get you the name and contact info for tomorrow afternoon.
I think they where in the 75 USD to 100 USD per night bracket.
Cheers
JJ
