Hotel Vallclaire Suites

I chose the cheapest suite available and was blown away by how large it was. The air conditioning worked very well and was very welcome. The shower was amazingly powerful and had extremely hot water, both a pleasant change from other places I had stayed in. Having a kitchen was nice as on a long trip I get fed up eating out in restaurants all the time. I stayed for a few days just before carnival (staying at this hotel during carnival was out of my price range) and by sheer chance discovered the children's parade passed just a couple of blocks away. I didn't have any trouble with noise at all during my stay, although maybe it would be different during carnival.

The lights were fairly dim and the room was a little bit dingy in the evening. The kitchen didn't have any materials supplied for washing up so I had to buy my own, which was a bit of waste given I was only staying for a few days. Similarly, it would have been nice had some basics (salt, oil) been provided. While perfectly clean, the room was a little bit shabby, although totally acceptable for the price.
