"This property is BEAUTIFUL. From the front desk, to the spiral staircase, the pool , the cafe, and the rooms. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Breakfast at the cafe was the best. The pool was wonderful after a long day in Granada. The room was clean and cozy and was perfect and reasonably priced for a last minute stay for just a night. The rooms had a mini fridge which was super convenient. Loved this hotel so much and will certainly come back again."
