Hotel Vincci Puertochico
Helpful desk staff speaking English. Some noise in the morning as our room (406) was next to the cleaners area (not the cheapest room option). Overall good, would return.

It is a a good budget hotel. The rooms are clean,tidy and a good size.There is limited parking on site but plenty nearby. No bar or restaurant and the wifi is limited to downstairs. The town offers very little and the only cafe serving food wàs a burger bar.
