Two contrasting hotels.\
My favourite, the Resotel, in the Resotel Garage, outside bustling Salamanca.
Every room is different. The hotel bedrooms are hidden up a flight of stairs behind the prominent corner of the road garage. The garage is worth visiting.
Books behind the bar are about hotels and vehicles around the world.
Stop for a coffee and a bit to eat in the area on the left with seating. The walls are full of pictures of bikes, cars, races, rock stars, Harleys, you name it.
The toilets are a surprise. The basin features tap water gushing horizontally like a tiny waterfall.
If you have the foresight to book a bedroom, the glass sided lift has a line of motorised vehicles half way up the glass.
If you walk up the stairs, the walls are festooned with memorabilia. Upstairs, the bedrooms are all different, with motor themes and vivid colours.
Our room had cushions on the bed with red, white and blue Union Jack flags. The coat stand was in the shape of a tree. In the bathroom, tiles were in vertical rainbow stripes. So was the drinking glass.
The box of tissues were in different colours, red tissues, orange tissues, yellow, white.
Taxi To Salamanca
You are quite a way out of Salamanca. We took a taxi into town, both ways. Quite expensive, but we
wanted to avoid the nuisance of looking for a parking place, being fined, towed away, car damage, car broken into, loss of contents.
Taxi Trouble
The taxi back cost less than the pre-booked taxi called by the garage. Maybe there was a booking fee, or a charge for coming out to collect us.
We had a worrying wait about ten minutes to go back to the hotel from empty the taxi stand in the centre of the city of Salamanca. When the taxi passed us to a second taxi stand sign, my husband raced down the road to jump in ahead of people who stood politely and passively by because they had seen us waiting at the other stand before them. We were in a hurry to check out on time, at lunch time.
We reckoned the cost of the taxi both ways was balanced by the budget price of the room only hotel.
Resotel Bedroom
Every bedroom is different.
A complete contrast was the Hotel Imperial.
Hotel Imperial, big and old, right next to the main square in Valladolid. All old, elegant, austere, understated, unobtrusive.
The receptionist gave us a map marking all the main sites to see within walking distance of Hotel Imperial.
