I am planning a trip for my husband and I for this fall to the Czech Republic. Does anyone in the group have any apecial places that were memorable for accomodations? Or, special places to see? We've been around Prague several times and would like to avoid the crowds this time. We have stayed in the Pyramida Hotel near the Castle and found it very nice with a wonderful breakfast buffet, but looking for other places like that that are reasonable and have a parking area for the car. Maybe, some other towns. We love castles. We're open to any and all suggestions. Also, a good car rental agency. Our last experience 2 years ago was a disaster as they tried to overcharge us. I'd really like to hear about your experiences and recommendations. Thanks, Millie researching Herink,Stepan,Novotny,Vasik,Cherny, Soukup

Millie We stayed at the Hotel Certousy. See all 3 sites below. http://www.motylek.com/certousy/default.asp http://www.prague-hotel.ws/prague-hotel-certousy.asp http://www.certousy.cz/certousy2004/CZ/index_cz.htm This quiet hotel is on the NE edge of Prague, about a 20-30 min drive to city center. Prices reasonable. VERY clean. Restaurant on premises. Parking in hotel lot in front of hotel.... secure. For car rental, try EUROCAR but BE SURE to arrange rental here in the U.S. BEFORE you leave. Prices much better. I think they arranged a rental by Budget (Prague Airport).
