I can thoroughly recommend Casa Suzy & Roxy at Arpaşu de Jos. It's very close the the Transalpina and the other one that I can't spell and it has secure parking for bikes. The staff are welcoming, the beer is cold and the food is great - what more could you ask for.
Had a late start often breakfast and rode a very boring A1 (with a bit of over the hills diversion) and even stopped for lunch.
It was hot when I left, then it became overcast, then it rained a little and it was hot when I arrived in Arad.
I managed to lease my electrical adapter plugged in the wall when I left, but a luck would have it there is an electrical shop next to the hotel….
Had a brief walk around the area - but it's a little way out of the centre.
A great shower, large TV, air conditioning, good bed.. ah adventure travelling in on the up!! Thanks to my old friend: the late Colin Hitchcock…
Tomorrow I cross in Hungary and may even get as far as Austria….
