I couldn't be happier with this hotel. Excellent service, free parking, free wifi, free bottles of…read morewater, very modern, great location in Logrono. When my wife and I first saw our room, we wished we were staying in Logrono for more than 2 days. At such a good price point, it is hard to beat Hotel Calle Mayor.

Don't think of star ratings in Europe as the quality of accommodation when you're in Spain. It's…read moremore about the "amenities", like whether or not there's parking or a restaurant on premise. We selected this 4-star hotel over the 3-star Sercotel Portales (where we've stayed in the past), because it was a handful of Euros less; its proximity to Calle Laurel; and sadly, the 4-star rating-- although this was the last reason we picked it It was with regret we spent the night here. The first room we were checked-in to reeked of smoke, despite being a non-smoking room. Not necessarily the hotel's fault that someone did that, but why housekeeping didn't inform the front desk is questionable. The room we did get was smoke free, but egad it was old, dreary and worn down. It had two twins pushed together to make one bed (which is not uncommon), and when you sat on it, the mattress sunk in. Handsoap came out of a wall dispenser you had to SQUEEZE like a bottle of mustard, and this was the same for the bath gel in the shower. I was grateful for the shower I took that morning at our other hotel, so I could avoid another dreadful experience at the hotel. The location is great...like I said, for its proximity to Calle Laurel, and within the same pedestrian-ish block are cafes and bars if you don't feel like doing a tapas crawl. I can't say I recommend this place, but if Lorgroño is sold out, and this is the only place available, it's good enough. Just don't expect anything special, quaint or charming about this place.

This hotel is very well located on what can only be described as the Main Street. I would not rate…read morethe hotel four star as it is, a little too primitive for that rating in my opinion. Be aware that this is one of the busiest streets at night in Logrono, and all windows and doors on the front of the building are single glazed and old. Even on the sixth floor, sleep was a tall order until 4 o'clock when it quietened. To be fair, this was a Saturday night, it may not be so bad during the week, but I would request a rear of building room to be safe. Otherwise a fine hotel.

This place is really cool. Close to great tapas and shopping. It's small, clean and efficient. I…read morewould stay here again.

Marqués de Vallejo is in a good location, in the center of town. To get to some of the truly…read moreoutstanding wineries, however, one must rent a car and drive to some of the small towns surrounding the city. As for the hotel, the beds were comfortable and the room was a good size for two people. The breakfast offered is expensive and not worth it (it is more of an American breakfast than a Spanish breakfast), so be sure to check out one of the coffee shops in the neighborhood. The WiFi is of a good speed - no AOL 56k dialup as we had experienced on other portions of our journey. But unfortunately, there is no fitness center. For an admittedly more upscale hotel in La Rioja, I am very surprised that there were not more services or amenities offered in conjunction with the various wine producing regions. I would have definitely shelled out extra money if it meant that I could have some sort of organized transportation to the various wineries, rather than having to watch my drinking consumption because we had to drive ourselves.

They also have an underground Bodega of which they offer tours and tastings. It's all contained within a beautifully decorated 17th Century Spanish Country House/Palace, with a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. Gayle and I enjoyed a long lunch in a small outdoor Patio area between the Bar area and the Hotel. Also in-between was the Bodega area and for a time a fun bunch of folks whose wine tasting capped their adventurous time underground. We were both sorry that we missed our chance to do that too. We both ordered off the "Menu del Dia" and my oxtail steak was fabulous. Gayle was less impressed with her bland cod (is there any other kind?) and wished that she had ordered off the Menu. The couple at the next table did, and Gayle wanted what they were having! However, our shared bottle of wine was good, the Spanish Flan was delicious (as usual), and my young Bride looked radiant. One of our mutual observations was how cute Spanish children are, how handsome the Parents look, and how much doting was going on. We got our chance with a Toddler who came over to say Hi and a Mother that was loving every minute of it. It's amazing during times like this when our broken Spanish is understood by all.

Mayor de Migueloa is located in one of the most popular wine regions in Spain (if not the most…read morepopular). The name of the town is Laguardia, which used to be a defense post established in the 13th century. Laguardia provides a rich historical backdrop over looking Spanish wine country, which offers spectacular atmosphere and picturesque views. My friend and I stayed at Mayor de Migueloa for a weekend and really enjoyed our stay. It's a family run business with charming decor through out the establishment. The old walls and rustic feel of the place takes you back in time, although the hotel is quite cozy, modern and clean. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and we also noticed the owner works closely with the staff on a daily basis, which probably accounts for the attention to detail. The restaurant was fantastic, and for any wine enthusiast, it's a perfect location to stay and travel in the region. Mayor wine is exceptional and I definitely took some home with me. Overall, we loved this place and enjoyed our visit and highly recommend its charm, service and location!
