The hotel is in a good, if rather out-of-the-way location, but the main attractions of the town are still walkable. The staff are friendly enough and the public areas of the hotel are appealing, though our room was rather basic. The main disappointment was the quality of the food in the restaurant (we wanted to eat in as it was just an overnight stay). The other people in the restaurant happened to be French, so we were also given a menu in French - not really a problem, as it happens, but a bit strange! It was an inexpensive, fixed price, three-course menu, so maybe we were a bit too optimistic! We ordered 'bavette de veau' as our main course and were shocked to be presented with a dark brown piece of meat that had been hammered to within a millimetre of its life. It was completely overcooked and had the toughness and consistency of the sole of my shoe (though with rather less flavour). The French group at the next table also had some strange experiences: they ordered chicken and they got... chicken, but without any of the accompanying vegetables the menu described. I think they gave up at this point, as they had already had an amusing misunderstanding with the waiter about the wine - they asked for rosado, but were brought and served a red sweet sparkling wine. With some wry smiles they sent it back and opted for Rioja (a wise choice!). So, all in all, a restaurant experience to avoid!
