Hotel Montera was very impressive - yeah, it’s a Hilton, so it’s not like they roll out the upgrade red carpet, but that bed was worth it - here are my impressions:
  • Upgraded to a King Esperanza room - not sure what that means, and I did see Grana rooms available online - didn’t ask further at check-in
  • Bed was exceedingly amazing - super plush mattress, super plush covers, super plush pillows - really sad I had to wake up at 7
  • Shower pressure from the rainfall head was strong and good
  • Noise isolation from the outside was really good
  • Given large water bottles to refill at hallway stations on each floor - drank more water than I usually would
  • No apparent streaming options on the TV
  • Given a cocktail voucher at check-in - menu posted below - had a good margarita
  • Housekeeper brought churro-flavored truffles from San Gines (not sure if turndown or Diamond gift)
  • Tissues were half-sized - a bit annoying
  • Did not ask about late checkout due to Noon flight
  • Uber to airport was significantly cheaper at 17 EUR vs. normal taxi cost
  • Breakfast for Diamonds starts at 7 and included some really good cakes (carrot, lemon, and chocolate) on the buffet - had a good ham and cheese sandwich with soft bread and some french toast (they also had Benedicts, etc) - restaurant tables are a bit low and most of the seating options are couches
  • The toilet seat was noticeably small, or maybe I’m just large

I would return for the amazing bed.
