Stayed 1 night at Hotel Macia Plaza, in Plaza Nueva. Perfect location for visiting Alhambra. It is a 2* hotel but decent quality. Beds weren't really comfortable but I wouldn't say they are terrible (could be better though). Get a room that does not face the plaza for quietness - people party loud and late on the plaza. Only a few rooms on each floor face the plaza so I'd say 80% of them are quiet. Ours was quiet - no problems. Bathroom was newly remodeled with very clean everything. Hotel has air conditioning with wireless thermostat next to the bed. TV had no English stations but I didn't come to Spain to watch TV. Road to Alhambra starts at Plaza Nueva and is easily walked in 10 minutes. Don't be lazy and take the tourist bus up the hill!! It's a pretty walk and who wants to be crammed in a bus?? Lots of restaurants with patios nearby. Go out of hotel and take a left, walk maybe 4-5 blocks, a very scenic plaza looking up to Alhambra with 5-8 restaurants serving food/drinks outside. Weather was perfect on our trip and we enjoyed dinner on the plaza with Alhambra as backdrop. Terrific internet cafe 2 blocks away (walk out of hotel and to right down street). High speed, about 50 terminals, flat screen monitors, 1.20eur/hour! Would stay at Macia Plaza again for 70eur/night.
