We could see this gondola from our balcony and the Statue of the Virgin. There are plenty of restaurants within a few blocks , including Starbucks (if you must) around the corner. There is free internet and WIFI, free underground parking if you have a rental car, and a very nice complementary breakfast each morning with cafe, cafe as well as Nescafe! The rooms are small but we only slept there. There is also a dining table with 2 chairs and the hotel staff is friendly but speak mostly Spanish.
