Parador de Jaén

Very friendly staff on check in (they made a big fuss of our 6 month old daughter and called housekeeping while we checked in to have a cot put in our room - all super clean and very helpful). We’ve not stayed at a Parador before and chose this as it was en route to our next stop. The room was good, with a balcony with a great view. The pool looked great although we didn’t have time to try it and the restaurant and hall etc were pretty grand. A lot of the furniture seemed very new and carpets etc look fresh - it is maybe a quirky choice of hotel as Jaén is perhaps a little off the beaten track for some. We were the only family we saw at breakfast, all the other guests seemed more mature although that might be due to the time of year (we stayed outside normal school holiday season). Compared to some of the other choices in the area which all seemed a little hit and miss looking we chose this hotel as we knew it was part of a wider group and that it would be reliable. Would stay again if we drive this way again.
