Countryside experienceat its best
Ok for work
We lasted all of 90 minutes in this run-down roadside establishment. On the plus side, the suite was spacious with a great bathroom. But the WiFi was dire, the staff don't even look you in the eye, the service is slow & the atmosphere was noisy and unwelcoming. We checked out and moved on!
If you look for a connector to charge your EV do run away from this place They are nice but they will charge you more than the official rate of 6€. I was charged 10€ with no receipt and no upfront info on the charging cost Announced cost to garage access is 6€, out of the blue the number 10€ came up "magically" Do avoid it if you can. I'll avoid it, never again ever.
Everthing was perfect except that the parador is located outside of the village
Nice spa and hotel. Can only revommend it. Worth a stay
Extremely comfortable hotel, but we visited out of season and garden was closed. It was not really within walking distance of the town.

Back to the past in this drab Parador.
Situated on the ring road, it's easy to find. But can be a bit noisy at night if your room is on that side.
Good car parking, hotel set in a small pine wood, with lots of RED squirrels to watch. I hadn't realised that red squirrels are so small, and this Spanish variety has black ears and tail.
But the hotel is past its prime, and it shows.
Because it is older, the rooms are good-sized, but so dark and gloomy.
Dark gloomy furniture, overpowering. Dark gloomy soft furnishings.
Small windows. Poor lighting - I wondered if we should go back to our habit of 30 years ago of carrying replacement light-bulbs for Spanish hotels. I don't expect they were the old 25 watt bulbs, but it felt like that.
Two positives: Bathroom a good size. Wifi effective.
And the pool area wasn't bad, although locals with hordes of children turn up at weekends.
I suggest instead the parador at Salamanca or, taking a different route, the wonderful Hotel La Caminera near Ciudad Real. A true five star experience there. Here I would give a grudging 3 stars.

Quite good place yo stop when you travel
