Negative Reviews
negative:
Breakfast options are quite limited
A complimentary breakfast buffet is served daily in the breakfast area. However, a lot of guests find the choices to be too limited. There are a lot of dining options available, though, just within walking distance from the hotel.
negative:
Central air conditioning may cause inconvenience
It can get very warm in this part of Spain during certain seasons, and the lack of individual control to the air conditioning caused inconvenience to many guests. This disallows them from enjoying the temperature they want, as the air conditioning system is centrally operated.
negative:
Road noise can enter the rooms
The hotel is located close to the main road. While this means extra convenience for the guests, this also means that unwanted traffic noise can penetrate into the rooms. Thus, you are advised to choose rooms in the higher floors to avoid this problem.
