Charming hotel/restaurant where every corner is magical
Pros:

Mi habitación era de ensueño, con gran gusto en la decoración y acabados, el baño y los productos para el aseo de lujo, los distintos salones encantadores y la cena/desayuno a la carta en el restaurante sobresaliente para foodies: la burrata como starter y el pollo de principal, se deshacían en la boca y tenían una mezcla de sabores muy acertada! Gracias!
My room was a dream, tastefully decorated and finished, the bathroom and toiletries luxurious, the various lounges charming, and the à la carte dinner/breakfast at the restaurant outstanding for foodies: the burrata as a starter and the chicken as a main course melted in mouth and had a perfect blend of flavors! Thank you!

Grog place and location, great staff food drinks!
Pros:

Lovely place, staff, big room, good parking, food and drinks.

Cons:

Bathroom in need of update, wallpaper (in bathroom?) peeling and damaged in bits, the shower was horrible and mouldy, cracked/missing grout silicone, gaps between shower and wall, nasty (i challenge staff to get IN the shower and look around properly, i was not impressed). This didnt ruin our stay though. The rest was great.
