Palermo On Our Own, Before The Tour

We arrived back at our hotel to officially check in, after our exploring and having lunch; as our room was now ready.
The outside of our hotel, Best Western Ai Cavalieri Via Sant'Oliva 8, Palermo.
We did a bit of unpacking, and took a mini nap.  You'll notice 2 twin beds.  This is quite common in Europe, and we found out in our other travels it's best to request 2 twins for your room, otherwise you're likely to have only a double bed.  They don't tend to do Queen or King beds in many hotels in Europe, particularly not at the more historic hotels which is often where you stay when touring.
We had nice little sitting area with a little half wall that separated the bedroom from the sitting area, and the door you see is to the bathroom.
Small shower, but adequate.
You can see the half wall I mentioned.  We have a desk area with the TV (that was never turned on!!).  A nice wardrobe.  The room was small, but well appointed and we had coffee service there in the room on the desk with a small fridge in the cabinet.

This is the breakfast room, which was quite pretty.  There was a meeting room just off to the right which is where we met our tour companions and tour guide.
The common areas in the hotel were quite pretty; though I never really noticed anyone sitting and enjoying them.  Would have been nice to have a drink in one of these areas in the evening to chat with our fellow travelers, but the hotel did not have a bar.......I thought that odd.  AND the breakfast room is used for just that, no other meals were served in the hotel.

After our rest, we headed out for a night of exploring and a lite dinner; but that will be the next posts since this post already has 10 photo's.

See you in a few days for next installment of our Sicily tour.
