AC Murcia - Murcia, Spain 

Plus points: Nice modern hotel with complimentary mini-bar, good size bedroom and bathroom and free coffee and muffins/pastry during the day. There is a pool, although it is more of a plunge pool and we didn't try it as it looked closed and there isn't much of a view. There was a bus stop almost right outside with a bus that went on a 25 minute circle into the city centre and back out again. Negative points: Was about 20 minutes walk from the city centre, with no bars or restaurants nearby. Hotel was focussed more on business customers and lobby entered directly into Murcia: Was a nice place to visit although less english spoken, as to be expected, which added to the trip. Great little squares to sit outside, enjoy some beer and wine and sample the tapas. Wouldn't rush back due to there being less to see, but recommend a visit. We got the train from Alicante and stayed 3 nights - 2 probably would have done.
