Hotel Nova Centro - Jerez de la Frontera, Spain     

Our experience at Hotel Nova Centro was a nightmare. The double room turned out to have unmovable twin beds, the window faced the stairwell and there was no fresh air anywhere, the hotel clerk was rude and uncaring, not only to us but to the young men who came down while we were checking in and were locked out of their bathroom. The clerk shrugged his shoulders and after a good while handed them a bobby pin to try to get in. Although parking was supposed to be available, he at first offered us the parking lot for E17.50 per night, and only after much discussion did we find out we could get a sticker from him to park for much less on the street. We wound up cancelling our reservation, losing our money, and going up the street to the Hotel Avila, which for only a few euros more treated us with warmth and hospitality, as well as a room looking out on a geranium-filled terrace across the street and a double bed.

Hotel is near the center,and for 39 euros for a single room with TV , bathroom , hairdryer, and incl. breakfast, not bad at all. Only the breakfast is from 08.30 in the morning.....
