"Although this isn’t a cute boutique hotel with character, it does a good job as a corporate feeling facility. My room had a terrible view looking onto the front of the hotel which is not pretty at all. But the room itself was very nice, clean and quiet. The roof terrace and pool were absolutely stellar! The pool was amazing and I would stay here again just for that. Definitely not a cute or charming place but does corporate well. The breakfast buffet was fantastic and the front desk staff were actually the most helpful, friendly and kindest I met throughout my entire visit to Spain. Centrally located just on the outer edge of the old town."
