Check in easy, very clean room. There were some floor tiles missing but it did not affect our stay at all. Hotel is conveniently located and easy to get around. There was a bar and seating area but not busy ever. Bartender was very kind as was all staff

MYR Puerta Serranos
Room was very clean and a good size. Not much natural light with it being an interior room but as I was out most of the day that wasn’t a problem. All staff I spoke to were friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar was nice, though was shut one of the days I was there. Breakfast was good and served quick ...
