This was our last hurrah in Spain and we wanted an upscale stay which we got. It was not their fault but the garbage had piled up right in front of the hotel from the various restaurants, it was pretty awful and it took two days to get it out of there. However, the staff were top notch, the service was great, they were very friendly and helpful, as well. And the restaurant took us without a rez and we had a great experience- we felt special. it is a hustle/bustle like area, right on the edge of the “NY Broadway” type experience if you know what that means, but the hotel itself was quiet, and it is central to all the hot tourist spots so nothing is too far away. That made it convenient to drop off things as we were walking about that we bought. It was super nice not to have to park the car ourselves, we were not used to the tiny spaces these garages allow for a car. So the valet experience was a pleasant gift we gave ourselves. It was easy to get out of the hotel to the airport. In all, it is a wonderful experience, but it is not a cheap one.
