Meliá Bilbao

The style is great, but the marks on the walls, the condition of the motorized window curtain made it seem like there had been some wear and tear on the rooms that have not been addressed.

Prós: The location is truly unbeatable. Right on the river, close to the center of town, the Guggenheim, not far from the old part of town and next to a lovely park. The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, and very helpful. Room was comfortable.

Contras: The only negative parts of my hotel were that the room smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. I wish that I had been asked whether I liked a smoking or non-smoking room. Also there was construction going on outside my window throughout the night.
