Enjoyed a very comfortable stay at this wonderful hotel in the heart of La Rioja. First, the staff are professional in every way. Everyone from the front desk, to the dining room, to the support people does a proper job, always with a cheerful smile. The people here make you feel welcome in every way. The suite is modern with every convenience including excellent lighting, a cloud-like bed, and plenty of places to keep your things while visiting. Location is convenient to all of La Rioja. Parking is across the street. Breakfast made to order with all the favorites. I look forward to staying here again, hopefully for many days!
