Husa Prado de Boadilla - Boadilla del Monte, Spain     

Partner Prado de Boadilla is brand spanking new. I mean it literally looks like this hotel sprung up in the middle of nowhere and slapped on a vacancy sign (I'm kidding about the sign). For people seeking a lot of peace and quiet, this place is perfect. There are no buildings next door and hardly any cars drive by. The inside of the hotel is everything that it advertises. It's very clean and modern. The rooms have hardwood floors and the bathrooms are all in marble. The bathroom sink/counter is made of a single sheet of glass (which looks really cool). There are only a few drawbacks to the room itself that I can recall. 1) The TV is pretty small. 2) The shower (there is no tub) is about 2/3 the size of a telephone booth. 3) The walls are pretty thin (I could easily hear the guy next door snoring away). The people working at the hotel are very friendly AND they can speak English. Also, there is a computer with internet access in the lobby that guests can use for free. Now, the biggest problem with this place is that it's REALLY far from the city center. You're talking ? hr without traffic and 1 ? - 2 hrs with traffic. There is no public transportation in the vicinity. So if you don't have a rental car, you're screwed. I think I paid $30 dollars extra in cab fares and metro rides just to get to and from the hotel. In all honestly, I think this place is best suited for local business travelers. That seemed to be most of the clientele anyway. I didn't see a single family the 2 days I was there.
