price following by + means the price has not been updated for several
years, and has probably gone up.
These are hotels we have heard about or know about. Prices have
not been updated.
They are mostly “2 star” hotels, which
means more or less clean and modern, with private toilet and bath or
shower (except as indicated) with very small rooms by US standards, and
usually TV and telephone, though these may not function in the cheaper
rooms.
