Two
nights
second
week
in
May
2022.
Excellent
location
100m
from
the
Oriente
station
with
rail,
metro
and
buses
and
easily
found
driving
from
Spain.
Arrived
earlier
than
expected
at
1300hrs
but
check
in
was
good
and
our
room
available
ahead
of
time.
Superior
sea
view
was
a
good
size
room
with
OK
bathroom
all
very
clean
BUT
the
sea
view
was
mostly
taken
by
the
offices
opposite,
we
were
on
the
tenth
floor
[I
had
emailed
for
the
highest
floor
possible]
of
16.
The
windows
needed
a
good
clean
too.
Disappointing.
Given
how
much
time
we
actually
spent
in
the
room
a
basic
room
would
have
been
fine
in
retrospect.
Breakfast
was
disappointing
too.
Arriving
at
0730
when
the
service
began
there
were
a
few
people
present
and
we
were
ahead
of
the
rush
of
mostly
single
guys
going
to
a
trade
fair.
The
quality
and
selection
of
meats
was
poor.
Few
bread
choices
and
placement
a
distance
away
from
the
toaster
which
was
strange.
On
both
mornings
the
cereal
available
consisted
of
three
jars,
cornflakes,
chocolate
somethings
and
muesli.
The
first
two
half
full
and
the
muesli
two
spoonfuls
in
the
bottom
both
days.
Someone
had
put
the
muesli
out,
twice,
but
not
filled
the
jar.
An
attitude
perhaps
indicative
of
the
lack
of
attention
to
detail
or
complacency.
The
Pastila
de
Nata
were
OK
but
when
they
ran
out
it
was
20
minutes
before
they
were
renewed.
The
staff
were
great
at
clearing
and
sanitising
table
but
maybe
checking
levels
of
food
available
not
so
great.
We
were
visiting
Lisbon
and
having
a
leisurely
breakfast
.
Most
were
dashing
in
and
out
within
10
minutes
but
the
quality
should
not
reflect
that
surely.
This
is
a
four
star
hotel
and
compared
to
the
same
level
Melia
at
Madrid
airport
it
fell
very
short
in
this
area.
And
beware
the
car
park.
Easy
to
find
and
once
inside
plenty
of
space
but
getting
in
requires
a
hairpin
turn
and
our
Freelander
had
inches
of
clearance
on
our
last
of
4
attempts.
Disappointing,
and
would
we
would
I
stay
again?
Easy
to
find
and
excellent
placement
but
attention
to
detail
and
breakfast,
in
my
view,
did
not
reflect
the
price,
4
star
status
or
Melia
brand.
As
an
aside
there
are
plenty
of
small
cafes
nearby
including
an
excellent
on
first
right
out
of
the
entry
door.
Maybe
we'll
stay
in
a
basic
room
and
eat
breakfast
next
door
in
future.
