Hotel Mercader

We had a delay with our ferry so arrived at 2am. No problem, check in was swift and very obliging. Bowl of water was left for our little dog in room, lovely touch. Room was beautiful, spotlessly clean, large and excellent standard. Breakfast good choice and nicely prepared. Excellent location for dropping on and off the motorway with avoiding central Madrid.

Postcode of hotel covers a HUGE area, ensure you put in hotel address into satnav rather than just postcode. Arriving at night was difficult. You also come up to a security/toll type gates which was a bit daunting. You have to go through these to get to hotel. Our Spanish is minimal and the gateman's English was minimal but he was lovely and let us through with a pass to the hotel, so all was good. Felt the 16euro extra charge for the dog was a bit steep as most dog friendly hotels in Spain incorporate the cost of a small dog.
