Blu Hotel Almansa
Almansa|0.94km from Castle of Almansa
Hotel Blu is a modern hotel with easy access from the motorway and walking distance to city centre. I had a Deluxe double with just me in it, which was ok. I stayed an unusually long 7 nights , this hotel is predominately more transient with a lot of business coming from workers / business people who have to travel. The restaurant is on the ground floor and is staffed by very pleasant and friendly personnel. The menu was not to my taste and it has lost something in the intervening 9 years since I had a fabulous tapas lunch. However I was in Almansa to eat at other establishments so it was no big deal for me personally. The hotel has WiFi with open network protocol with range extenders, repeaters dotted around. I also had a smart TVI in my room which can act as a hub. So it should be a good signal, but it isn’t. Lots of drop out , unstable bandwidth which makes video calling all stutter and pixelation, not an ideal scenario for a business hotel. The shower over the bath was ok, small shower head, the bath though is an accident waiting to happen. The water is very soft and the bath very shiny, thus leading to a very slippery surface. I nearly went over in the bath before there was any soap used. It needs non slip mat. There are no tea/ coffee facilities in the room so it is a case of being dressed and trudging to the breakfast area or the restaurant. So no coffee in bed. Breakfast is a hot and cold extensive buffet and there is something for everyone. Coffee is good ( not as good as mine at home) for a hotel , in my experience most can not make coffee, period. I would stay here again and be satisfied, my negative comments are aimed at the hotel to get them to make more effort to be better.
