On to Hotel #2... and a side note about parking in downtown Poznan

Today I checked out of the IBB Andersia and moved to the Hotel Don Prestige, which is a smaller hotel that focuses on longer-stay guests.  My room is smaller, and not as lavish, but that's no surprise.

Thankfully the pillows and bed seems slightly softer, which might help.  The unfortunately downside to this hotel is that there is a small street and park on one side (luckily the side I'm on) and on the other side are a street with tram tracks and the tram comes by regularly.  It's also not as well built as the IBB, so the ambient noise level is going to be much higher.

Of course, my commute got a bit longer (how could it not) but work isn't too far off as you can see from this picture taken out my window.

I also thought I'd point out something about parking in Poznan.  If you look at the cars across the park from my window in the shot above you can tell that most of them are parked up on the curb.  There are actually parking spots that run parallel to the curb.  But there is so little available parking that people park on the sidewalks.  Sometimes it's just partly on the sidewalk like this.  Sometimes they park fully on the sidewalk.  I'm told they risk having a boot put on their car, but I haven't seen that happen yet.  Here's a closer picture of the parking situation.
