bom, justo, nada excepcional.
Pros:

CAFE DA MANHA!! tinha arroz doce!! vários tipos de pães...
O quarto tinha duas Tvs.
Box do banheiro de vidro!!

Cons:

algumas pessoas rudes. Além disso, o estacionamento NÃO É gratuito. Muitas vezes não tinha vaga no estacionamento deles, então vc tem que se desdobrar para achar uma vaga...não é fácil! Não é um local que dê para parar com facilidade.

A really good stay
Pros:

Our junior suite was spacious and well laid out. Two TVs, which helped avoid marital discord during the World Cup. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. Breakfast was extensive and varied. Free cava on offer by the rooftop pool (and at breakfast, if that's your thing). Well equipped gym.

Cons:

Nothing really. The location was handy for transport (e.g. the train to Bilbao) and the beach, but a bit of a walk to the Old Town. The pool isn't huge.

Buen hotel, bien situado y buenos servicios
Pros:

El hotel está bastante bien, moderno y agradable, con muchos servicios de piscina, spa y gimnasio, y el desayuno estaba bastante bien. Ademas el personal fue muy amable. Además está muy bien ubicado.

Cons:

La habitación tenia una distribución extraña, y poco funcional, y habia colgadores rotos para las toallas, por lo que al final resultaba un poco incómoda de utilizar la habitación en general.
