Hotel Palacio de Úbeda 5 G.L.

We booked a junior suite. It had poor views of an old tower with boarded up windows and thick bird droppings on the windowsill.The room was built round a tower, with floor to ceiling windows covered by thin curtains. The other small window overlooked the street.The TV was an afterthought with cables running from it across the wall to the sockets.The coffee making facilities were placed right underneath the TV which jutted so you could crack your head on the TV corner.The room had a separate shower room & toilet but the bath and the basins were in the suite next to the bed.I could understand the logic of this if you had a view from the bath.There was a sheaf of 6 photocopied tatty pieces of paper in a folder which comprised of the only information provided about the hotel and surrounding areas.Unlike the description there was no city view and there were no extras in the empty minibar only water.Although there was a swimming pool onsite it was very difficult to find.We had booked half board and were looking forward to eating in the 5 star restaurant.But the restaurant was closed and the staff were very coy about when its going to re-open. Our meal was served in a tiny room off the bar set up with 4 tables. Another couple sat next to us but it was quite intimidating as they were close enough to hear every word of conversation. Beakfast in the morning was good although it's an extra 18 euros if you wanted cooked food. All in all not a pleasant experience. Just an expensive one!
