Torre Dorada
Great stay overall. Very clean rooms, extremely friendly staff, and a short 7-minute car ride to the historic centre. The staff is, in all honesty, the friendliest, warmest hotel staff we have encountered on our travels; they were all delightful and always ready to help and offer advice.
