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.
