Great hotel to stay at on our way down through Spain. Friendly staff, decent comfortable rooms, and good food in the restaurant. Also free parking and dog friendly. Everything we need!
We stayed over for a brief stopover on our journey back to the UK. A fantastic hotel with welcoming staff, spacious rooms and comfortable beds.
Dog friendly and a delicious restaurant attached. We will definitely return.

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.
Located next to the motorway but our room was at the back of the hotel with beautiful views over the countryside. The room was lovely and the balcony huge. Everywhere in the hotel was immaculate. We had lunch and dinner in the hotel restaurant, it was all excellent. Beautifully cooked artichokes and a fabulous game pate were our highlights. The hotel staff were fabulous and extremely helpful.
Also, the hotel was extremely welcoming to our small, elderly dog.
A short walk into Santa Elena where there are a few shops and bars.

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.
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.
Todo genial. La relación calidad precio es magnífica. El personal es muy amable y atento. Y en el restaurante las raciones no pueden tener queja. Un buen hotel de carretera.
