After another day of navigating the Spanish road system, (next time will take the trains, even though the major highways are much easier to navigate than the smaller roads in the countryside), we found Alicante to be a very nice place, but we would likely not return to this hotel. The location was good and the room price reasonable, however, the room was very drab and dull. The hotel is in need of a serious remodel. However, if that can be overlooked, rooms on the street side do have a view of the Santa Barbara castle, which was very pleasant. Overall, would not give this property anything other than an average rating. We were glad we only stayed one night at this hotel.
