Please improve the handicap bathroom. Nice big shower, however every time you shower there is a flood on the whole bathroom floor. Even when you try to direct the shower head directly over the shower drain. Not enough of an incline at the drain. Put soap and like in room. None.

Clean modern facilities. Good continental breakfast range and dinner menu except it was the same dinner menu/specials every night - ? have some different items on special. Some confusion for my fellow traveller when ordering cup ot tea - teapot brought mixed with milk. Room power points limited for 3 people charging phones/watches/hearing aids. Wireless charging mentioned on lamp but couldnt get to work. Maybe some instruction.

Comfortable

The room was good size for two people a little tight for three. There was a folded bed added, which we didn't expect as the room was booked for 3 adults so we thought there would be a permanent single bed. The queen size bed was comfortable. Bathroom was nice and a good shower and soft towels.Had difficulty parking in the car park and the nice desk attendant arranged for parking in the front.

We booked a family room and we were pleased to find it was two separate rooms, excellent for noisy kids. Check-in was quick and painless, checkout the same. The hotel is located 15 minutes walk from Salamanca markets, and about 10 minutes from the centre of the city. Parking is only $15 per night but you can park on the street 6pm-8am or on the weekends for free, which we did as were only there Friday night.
