The Pros: very conveniently located in the heart of Alicante near the water and some of the city's famous attractions. No lack of things to do nearby or restaurants nearby and there's a stop for the bus that goes up the hill to the castle that's nearby, too. The bedding was also clean and the provided 2 pillows each. There is an on site restaurant and the validated parking for the hotel is not on the street, but not too far away if you have rolling luggage. There were black out curtains. Close to the beach and the Casino.
The Cons: the toilet was wedged between a normal size vanity and the glass to the shower and even a normal size person would be pressed against the glass to the shower while going to the bathroom. The bathroom itself was a decent size, but two of its walls facing the room were frosted glass. The shower looked tired. The white walls of the room had been scuffed up and even had a sneaker mark on them (and some other unidentified substances here and there). At about 9:30/10 am on Friday morning (and perhaps every morning?) parked trucks lined the street and there was about 30 min-1 hour of truck doors slamming that would be a problem for sleeping at that time. There was no chair to sit in the room (or desk) so sitting in the room required sitting on the bed. There was theoretically a 12 Euro bottle of water provided (for 12 euros), but our room did not have one (just the sign saying that if one wants the water there it would be 12 euros).
