Has anyone stayed here yet? There's currently an obscure award sale at this property, where they rebate you 3000 points per night on the 12,000 redemption. There's a Regency lounge, and the limited reports on tripadvisor are good. I'm concerned about the location, but it seems like there is some plausible Metro service into the city center. I'm also thinking of staying here before a late morning flight out of BCN T1, when I'll have a car to return. I'm somewhat familiar with the area, and I suspect I can park the car for free on the nearby streets. My experience with the BCN airport is that it's oddly time-consuming -- lines for security and then border control (the foreigner line is slow) so I think I want to be fairly close to the airport before that flight.

At 9000 points with lounge access, this hotel seems like a steal compared to my Barcelona alternatives, even if the location is subpar.
