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.

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.

Handy location, good price, but a little dated
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.

For the price this was an amazing place to stay. Large spacious rooms, clean and functioning AC. At exit from highway, but didn’t hear the noise. Friendly helpful staff. Very nice restaurant. Overall a great place to stay with free parking!

Una buena parada en mitad del camino
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.

Hyvä hotelli 👍
Huone oli hyvän kokoinen ja viilennys toimi erinomaisesti.
Varsinaista peittoa (oli tietenkin jäykkä sängynpäällinen) ei ollut, mutta helteellä lakana riitti hyvin. Mukava iso tetassi kauniilla näköalalla. Hinta-laatuduhdr erinomainen.
