"Looking for somewhere to stay as I travelled from the Santander ferry to the Algarve, I chose this hotel as it was relatively close to the motorway. I arrived just after 22:00; too late for food but my key was waiting for me. Plenty of parking. A good nights sleep, a refreshing shower and breakfast included. My journey resumed and I may return next year."
