A quite nice roadside hotel, nothing nearby but nature, perfect for a stopover on the way to Madrid. Oskar helped us checkin and at the restaurant, friendly and nice guy.

Upsides:
The hotel is well located, right by the motorway, for a one-night stop to break a journey. The price is competitive.
Downsides:
The rooms are spacious, but the fittings and decor are dated. Only the bar area - also a bit dated - was open when we were there, so we cannot comment on the fancier-looking restaurant area. Food was okay, but nothing special.

Excellent mattresses on beds, great sized rooms. Ours had a lovely terrace and bath with shower.
Bath is rather slippy.
We arrived very late, after 11pm. Bar was still open, however, the night porter was a bit abrupt and had no intention of letting us through the door until I showed him our reservation.

A pesar de llegar una madrugada del 30 al 31 de diciembre, nos esperaron y abrieron con rapidez. El hotel aunque se le nota que tiene ya unos años, está muy bien cuidado y es perfecto para hacer alguna noche suelta.
El restaurante muy animado y con buena variedad.
