Business Hotels in Alicante

We stayed the last three nights at this hotel. We stayed exactly 10 years ago in a Level Suite with sea and beach views. Beware that on this side are some suites with really small balconies. We did stay in one of them. This time we chose the marina view. All suites on this side have huge balconies. Also, you will get stunning sunsets. However, during the daytime, it can be too hot to sit on the balcony. The marina side is much sunnier. Our suite on the 4th floor has been recently renovated because it had modern decor. There were two bathrooms: one with a shower and one with a tub. This 5-floor hotel is big with over 100 rooms per floor. The breakfast was quite crowded at 10:00. On the last morning, we went at 8:00 and it was pleasantly calm. The food selection is very wide. Our stay had a good value for the paid 153 euros per night (plus a total of 8.000 Melia points). This rate was flexible and included breakfast.

Terrible place to book a room, Room looked like it was used for staff / tradesmen or worse. Wall onto stairs (see photo) each time anyone used the stairs woke the room up View from window see photo, no ventilation in bathroom, no balcony or view Window shutter broken not operating (open/close) Lights hanging from the wall Ladies blond wig found between bed No fridge just a space for one Only two sockets added for the whole room Door lock sticking very difficult to open Charged for car parking, then refunded, than asked again to pay Lower basement car park, still parking the car and collecting belongings, and lights were turned off, shutter closed, said there was a switch on the wall, but even next day could not find one, so being elderly with two others had to exit via steep ramps in the dark to exit Complained all they said is cannot understand you. People got stuck in the lift, alarms sounded screaming and banging from guests stuck in the lift, after this I was so frightened to use the lift, so I had to use stairs a number of times with limited mobility. Noise from corridors all hours banging, furniture moving, sounded like pipes leaking above the bathroom ceiling. TV was poor, the remote was very dirty and had no id to know what buttons were for what, only a few Spanish channels Had no operating air conditioning, listed as being air conditioned, so asked for a fan, one given but said no AC until May, not what it says on the web site. Reception said water was leaking from our bathroom to room below, see photo of sealing around floor, as clearly they have had a problem before Floor tiles cracked in bathroom Sink, towel rail and stool all cracked Bathroom door was very tatty and rotten at the bottom. One easy chair in the room, so dirty we could not use it to even put anything on, white stains all over it! Safe but no key, (not secure with a key anyway) top by safe inside wardrobe marked with paint etc Electric button in room, no idea what for, push button in wall suspect may be rooms by the hour? Old electric unit on wall by bed with no cover was it safe or live? No Bar, restaurant etc only buffet breakfast. NO information in the room / hotel regarding facilities etc not even pictures on the wall
