If you read the memory above, this is how it dod in fact turn out:
We had planned on walking into town as it wasn’t too far but at this hour, it was too cold and perhaps too dangerous. We wondered whether to take a cab into town at this ridiculous hour or just stay put in the cold terminal till it was light out and something was surely open. As chance would have it, there was a convenient tout waiting for the bus to arrive and soon asked us if we had a place to stay. We said we had our preference but no reservation and he whisked us off on a crazy cab right around the city in hopes of finding something open. I had explained we didn’t want to pay for this short night and he had agreed that was fair as long as we were staying the next night. He tried our place to no avail and a few others before finding someone that would answer their bell. The room was a dingy affair but at this hour, we took it even though it was explained we would have to pay half of the normal tariff for the short night. It was only six dollars and seemed a better option than walking the cold streets of the city until daylight. We huddled under a mountainous pile of blankets in the cold room and waited for dawn’s early light to make this crazy city seem friendlier.
Unique Qualities: Actually, the next night they moved us to a room with a private shower. It was 1000% nicer so it is well worth getting a room with private facilities if you stay here. He gave us a break as we had paid for the three hours the night before. Luckily, he forgot to charge us for the first night when left too. ;) Anyway, the rooms in this newer section of the hotel were pretty nice.
