Hotel Stop from Santander to Costa Del Sol
Excellent location on way from Santander to Costa Del Sol. 6 hours from boat and 3 hours to coast. at time of our visit the restaurant was open and cafe was open from 8am to midnight. Room was large with fridge and 3 bottles of water. The hotel has a pool but we did not use. The hotel is just off main road but noise was not an issue. We staid in 108 and parking was directly next to room Dogs stay free and although a little dated it was clean and good value. Would use again on next drive from Scotland.

Addiquate.
Overnight stop on our way to malaga, we were given a room at the rear of the complex. Rooms were clean and comfortable although air-conditioning struggled to keep the temperature down. Had a good night's sleep even though the main road that passes in front of the main building was noisy. We didn't stay for breakfast as it looked like a truck stop. Would stay here again even though it didn't make our favourites list

Excellent value compenstaes for poor presentation
We were very satisified with our stay, very good value for money. The initial impresions was not good because the hotel presents as a motel hard on a busy motorway, and the exterior looks a bit shoddy. Our room was also a bit dark and gloomy. However, the hotel gardens inside were lovely, the air conditioning worked well, the swimming pool was a bonus and the breakfast was very good. The bar was again, slightly shoddy, but the bar food good. The restaurant food was good also. The staff were attentive and charming.

convenient overnight stay
Hotel is next to the main dual carriageway so we asked for a room furthest away from the road. The swimming pool is a feature and our room with small terrace was by the pool. Hotel needs bring up to date and in need of TLC. Restaurant very good with friendly staff.

Good medium noisy hotel near to highway
Breakfast was good, room was clean and comfortable and not expensive. I would advise to stay in this hotel. The hotel is near to road, but not so noisy in the room, because we was in the farthest from the road building.

Comfortable stop
The hotel room was quite basic but large and clean, and the bed was enormous. The pool area was lovely - would have been nice on a hot Summer's day. Shame that the restaurant wasn't open - the food available in the bar area is quite limited (sandwiches and chips etc). The hotel isn't really near anything else (a 10 minute drive into the town), but is easy to find off the Autovia. Overall a bargain for the price paid.

convinient one night stop on the way to Andalucia
This is a typical Spanish highway hotel that caters to foreign and domestic travelers. It is nothing fancy but it is clean, convenient, has parking and good basic Spanish food.

Not what I expected
I knew I was in trouble when I opened the door and the room smelled like bug spray. Air conditioner was not working so we had to open doors for hours. The bars on windows were an indication that we weren't in the safest area but when I found an empty wallet on the ground, I knew we needed to be extremely careful. Hotel is very dated. Internet only available in lobby, but there is no place to sit in lobby to use it.

Great staff but needs renovation.
Some people obviously love this hotel and return again and again partly due to convenience on the road south and partly due to the staff and the good food. We had problems with heating/air conditioning (you can't open the windows due to road noise) My husband got an electric shock from the heater in the bathroom. I am sure you could find a better place that is just as convenient.

Very convenient if you're traveling on the A4 motorway but otherwise a long way from anything. A remarkably peaceful room considering how close to the traffic the hotel is situated. Friendly staff, a good evening meal and breakfast and recommendable as a one night stop.

OK in a pinch
We stayed one night in this hotel on our way from Sevilla to Madrid. It was a convenient mid-way place to spend the night, but in retrospect, we should have continued driving into Madrid rather than spend the night in this older hotel with its lack of anything to do or see. The hotel is fairly old (think 1950s motel in the Western USA). It has been remodeled recently, but it still felt old. The beds were very, very soft, but we were able to sleep in them OK. The restaurant had closed by the time we got there, so we drove the 5 miles into the nearby town and bought food at a grocery. Given the other hotels within 70 miles, this one is probably the best option, which does not say much. For breakfast, the employee in charge got up early and opened 1/2 hour before normal to accommodate our need to be on the road by 7:30 a.m. - a very kind gesture. In conclusion, stay here only if you are really tired. Otherwise, keep going the rest of the way to either Sevilla, Cordoba, or Madrid.

El Hidalgo in Valdepenas
We stayed in this hotel with my 7yr old grandson, chosen for its nearness to family in Valdepenas and because it had a swimming pool. Unfortunately, the pool does not open until June! The overall layout of the complex was fine, a sort of mote with gardens - with a filling station next door, on the A4 motorway to Andalucia. It could have been a reasonably enjoyable stay, but the rooms we were given, 101 and 102 smelled very strongly of sewage - very unpleasant. We stayed as it was only for that one night, but I did complain about it in the morning to reception staff.

Right on the Autovia heading south
If you want something right on the road for your trip, this is a nice hotel. It was certainly a very nice hotel in 1975, now it looks rather dated. No major renovations in decades. Nice staff but rather expensive food and drinks, and why not they are the only stop in quite a while. If you look real hard you might find something better. Comfortable bedding for a good night's sleep.

Great room for the money
I have stayed at this hotel for the past 5 years, nothing has changed, just a down to earth hotel. I travel to this area on business each year, the only draw back in the hotel has no internet connection. The phone service is old (not touch tone) so dial up internet is also very poor.

Enligt appen Hotels.com skulle hotellet ha restaurang. När vi kom fram visade det sig att denna var stängd (Corona?) Det fanns dock mackor i cafeterian och vin som vi ville ha. Mannen kom med allt till rummet. Bra service!

Fint hotel til en enkelt overnatning mellem Madrid og Malaga, hvis man ankommer lidt sent med fly i Madrid og skal til Malaga... Ligger tæt ved motorvejen, fin størrelse værelse, inkl morgenmad, som er rimelig god... Meget billig pris og fin service.
