Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had nice-sized rooms with air conditioning and a superb shower, but it felt like being in the middle of a removal firm due to noise. Next door was a bit noisy in our room.
The hotel was large and airy, immaculate, with good air conditioning and a great bed for a post-arrival nap and a good night's sleep. However, the room temperature was over 80 degrees inside when it was 55 degrees outside.
As a tired El Camino pilgrim, the hotel provided clean and comfortable rooms, although not as nice as the lobby or external view. The service had its ups and downs, with some issues in friendliness but great help for leg and foot problems. The location was ideal for the Camino trail but had some shortcomings in providing directions. The dining experience had its flaws with limited options. However, the hotel's convenient facilities made the stay enjoyable overall.
