AC in Girona afforded us grand views of the city and surrounding mountains. The views from the…read morepatio were breathtaking both during daylight and at night when the city light shone brightly. The hotel is on the edge of town perched on a hill. Girona is a great walking city and this location did not take advantage of that as the city center was a very long and steep walk away. However, taxis are inexpensive so getting around was not a problem, at all.
Our room was very Euro, clean, spartan, and highly functional. The bathroom was stocked with the usual toiletries and a big bonus of a bidet. (we -wimps- did not use the bidet) As a Marriott Gold Member, the minibar contents were FREE, including beer!
We did not use the restaurant, but the Catalan breakfast spread was very good. Lots of porky goodness in the form of local ham and a multitude of sausages. An extensive array of cheeses from soft to hard and stinky to mild. Lots of pastries and fruit, too. It was a two plate affair.
My wife used the workout room and she said while it was small, it was clean and new.
The front desk staff was friendly and attentive to our requests. They had to help translate for taxi driver for the early Monday morning pick up. Our bar waiter on Friday night was hard to track down for each round, but was friendly when he was serving.
AC was very inexpensive. A very nice place to stay, but I will probably want to try another hotel in the city center next time. Paying a little bit more for a central location will be offset by not having to use taxis for every move.
