A hop, skip, and camera click away from Plaza Mayor is this cozy down-home, two-star hotel, apppropriately named after its monumental neighbor. This hotel is worth the few extra euros for its bonus services, accountability, and warm welcome. It's where we put up our relatives when they pass through town.
Art Deco bedspreads sprawl on beds very big by Spanish standards. Wood floors, modern lighting, and balconies (or, barring balconies, large windows) lighten every room. In the bathroom, we found new hardware and fixtures and his-and-hers sinks.
Some rooms have flat-panel televisions. The hotel is undergoing a gradual re-do. Right now, your best bet is a first floor room, as these are the newest and most smartly decorated. If you're traveling solo, we recommend bypassing the "individual" rooms, which are quite small.
Our favorite rooms were the superiors, which run €15 more per night. Corner rooms are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows with Plaza views are worth shelling out extra. Downstairs is a large café-like sitting area where the buffet breakfast (for an extra €7) is served.
