"Great staff, very clean, very modern, and all geared toward wheelchair users. Having breakfast (basically three factory-sealed pastries and a hot beverage) delivered on a trolley to your room was a first (and it felt rather like I was in my grandmother’s retirement home). Long walk into the historic area - but we loved exploring the area and the nearby Mesón El Pestorejo Los Eméritos was a fab fine for us - great food and local atmospere. "
