Hi! I received a note from Hotel Plaza Mayor saying that they are cleaning and painting the building and "cant show the street nice" (in regards to my question about the room having a window). Does anyone know if this means there's a lot of scaffolding around, a lot of noisy work being done, or whatever. Just looking for objective opinions, thanks!

My first post!

Roy, I happened to walk down the Atocha street this evening and I saw the building. There is scaffolding all around the hotel. However, I didn't pay attention and I can't tell you whether they were just painting or doing something else that could cause more noise.

Antonio, gracias por tu respuesta. I guess I will have to make a decision. Obstruction of view is one thing, but noise and having people hang outside your window is another! I guess that's why they didn't mention this in their original reply. But I do give them credit for fast e-mail replies.

Maybe this is the reason for the August discount.
