While I do not actually think this hotel deserves a 5 star rating I do believe it deserves a higher rating than it currently has, therefore I am trying to raise the average.
We are currently in the middle of a full weeks stay here and am using some downtime to get this task accomplished.
The "facility" itself is maintained meticulously with a very hard working staff. The restaurant within the hotel is, without a doubt the best in the neighborhood.
Remembering what we are paying for the room per night expectations need to be set proportionately to the charge. Of any hotel we ask most for 3 items
1. Good A/C - check
2. A good strong and hot shower - check
3. Comfortable bed(s) - check
We had no ants or bugs of any kind
As an Architect it really is a rather attractive and semi classically designed facility.
As in most of Spain, as Americans we are bothered by the amount and "locations," of all the smokers but I suspect it is also regulated by laws.
The ONLY drawback I have thus far, which would be free to fix it is that the staff we deal with could be a lot more congenial and hospitable to us. It might be that they are very used to Spanish speaking clientele, which, while we do our best we are not fluent.
UPDATE....The staff has now gotten used to us, or it was me however they are also very friendly struggling with little English matching my feeble attempts at Spanish.
All in all. Price to quality in.my opinion is well on the mark if not actually a super great value and find.
