Rooms and building are very nice. But it is very far from Madrid. And there is no free breakfast, which I would expect when paying $130+ per night. Also the beds were 2 twins rather than 1 queen, and extremely low quality for such an expensive hotel. The rooms were super fancy but the beds had cheap, uncomfortable mattresses and very poor quality sheets.
Beautiful parador in a historical city next to the corral de comedias during Clásicos de Alcalá.
The hotel rooms are nice, but managing how to get the right amount of light where you want it is awkward, given the preset "settings" for light. In particular, low light or light only in the bathroom. Complicated is also the word for lowering the shades, internet, the shower, etc, it requires a lot of reading up on instructions before you decide to tackle those "complicated" tasks. The hotel is in a nice area and comfortable, but feels too impersonal in its vast expanses of nothingness.
