I had very little time to spend in Cadiz, yet a whole lot to see. It's a shame that I didn't get…read moreto spend more time in Cadiz; it was by far one of my favorite cities in Andalucia because the tourism is less commercialized and the city is just less congested overall. Never once did I feel like I was getting ripped off for dinner or had to wait in a long line at the entrance of the museum. Spa Senator, on the other hand, is a different story. I paid approximately 95 euro a night for a single occupancy room; by European standards, Spa Senator is probably a 2 or 3 star hotel (but is advertised on the website as something much fancier - a 4 star hotel). The lobby has a kitschy Andalucian vibe, with faux-arches, a fountain, and azulejos tiling. The furniture and upholstery in my room felt old, but I managed to get a good night's sleep. The room was spacious for European standards and had an (overpriced) minibar and a TV. At least the fan and ventilation system worked - Cadiz in July can be best described as oppressively hot. All of the employees that I interacted with were hospitable and friendly. Hotel Spa Senator's location, however, was perfect for my short visit and the primary reason why I booked this particular hotel. The hotel is about 5-7 minutes away from the Renfe station, which made my arrival and departure hassle-free. Most of the sightseeing (the cathedral, the museum - which I would highly recommend!, and the various oratories) is about a 10 minute walk away. There are plenty of shops and restaurants in the area, so there was no need to partake in the hotel's overpriced breakfast and because Marypaz was having a sale, I may have bought a pair of shoes (oops). Hotel Spa Senator was just right for what I needed - a bed to sleep in and a convenient location for a quick visit.

You will be given, if working, free access, such as it is, to Wi-Fi for 48 hours. It works so poorly that you would think you were using the Internet from the old AOL dial up days of 20 years ago. You might was well forget it. You will have access to Wi-Fi, but if you try to open a page, send an email, download something from the web, it might take five minutes or more. It's a total rip off and is inexcusable -- the hotel is obviously trying to save money on the Internet access it provides to guests. This one aspect of the hotel's so called amenities almost ruined my trip. I had brought my laptop with me on my trip to Spain and was counting on getting work done during the nighttime hours while in my hotel room.
