Iberia Plaza América
A little hard to find but excellent location. Small, basic room. Traffic noise at night. Secure underground garage at the hotel which is unheard of and gives piece of mind. The breakfast area will surprise and please you, good selection of food and pastries. 10 minute walk to the historic district. ...
