We pulled into this town on a way point from Porto to Santander and picked it from the choices available in Benavente as being a bit more up market, although the hotel was listed as a 3 star I felt it was lower end, the room was quite small compared to most, the bathroom was reasonable and seemed to have all the bells and whistles (gowns, slippers, loads of goodies the wife would know more about than me). The rooms were advertised as non smoking, however as soon as we got in the room it was apparent it wasn't due to the smell (and funny there was an ashtray in the bathroom suggesting otherwise), we were both non smokers so quite off putting. We set the AC to 15 but in the middle of the night it got quite hot and we could not get the AC to work at all, room 104, so the night was quite un-comfy but would be much worse if it was mid summer and not the poor weather we were experiencing at the time. The garage to park the bike was up the road in an underground car park which cost 6 euro's, worth the money to know my bike was safer than leaving it on the street. There was a bar up the road called Manhattan, this was quite a lively bar, good music and the real madrid v Liverpool match was on which made it even livelier when madrid won.
