Lovely Hotel
Pros:

Located in a quiet, mainly residential area. As others have said , 25 minute walk downhill to the square in old town. Ubers are plentiful and about 4euros back to hotel or a local taxi a little more. Also a free shuttle bus runs from hotel.

There is a large supermarket 5 mins walk and in that area there are a few bars and fast food places. These bars didn’t look great to be honest but they ate there if u want them.

Lovely room with big bathroom and shower and the biggest bed I’ve ever slept in! 2 pools on different sides of hotel, not huge so might get busy in peak season. Also a very nice indoor pool.

Lovely breakfast and very friendly staff

El hotel bien pero el personal de limpieza mejor cambiarlo
Pros:

Habitación confortable y espaciosa.
Desayuno muy bueno y variado.
Parking subterráneo 5€ con enchufes (corrientes) para poder cagar tu coche por la noche.
Zona tranquila.
Nos cambiaron rápidamente de habitación cuando descubrimos en la primera que la calefacción no funcionaba (bomba de calor).

Cons:

En 3 días no limpiaron ni cambiaron las toallas ni una sola vez. Es que ni entraron a la habitación a pesar de tener puesto el cartelito para que la hicieran. Al final cogíamos toallas del carro en cuánto lo veíamos en el pasillo por si acaso y menos mal. Las vimos por el pasillo varias veces y no he visto personal de limpieza tan desmotivado y con mala cara como aquí en casi ningún hotel del mundo.
La piscina interior climatizada un gasto inútil, o la calentáis 3° más como mínimo o está fresca y nadie se mete, por lo tanto la medio-calentáis para nada desperdiciando la luz que consumís para un servicio que el cliente no disfruta y pondrá una mala reseña. O sea mejor cerrarla si no queréis calentarla.

Typical Holiday Inn. That means it's good
Pros:

Typical Holiday Inn. In other words, as hotels should be. So many hotels in Spain are mediocre and HI is nice to know what you're going to get!

Cons:

Nothing really, everything I wanted

Estupenda experiencia
Pros:

La atención del personal. Soy celíaca y la hora del desayuno fue maravillosa. Además llevábamos cumpleañero y tan solo pedí un mechero y aparecieron con una tartaleta bañada en fresa!!!

Cons:

Que no tiene bares alrededor y para ir al centro habia6que coger taxi, pero siempre dependiendo si buscas marcha, porque si buscas tranquilidad es ideal. Y las almohadas para mi son demasiado altas
