my wife, once more seduced by karen brown, booked the america for two nights. karen likes the term "charming" and that is what it was, if you mean neat, clean, decorated with loving care, as was our room. maybe cosy is the best word.
you stay inside the walls of the alhambra which sounds great but that means also that you are at night in the middle of nothing, and to fetch the tickets for the alhambra palaces means going down to the parking place, quite a walk.
not so charming was the sitting area, some crammed seats just opposite the reception desk, and the quality of the building itself. the walls are so thin you can hear every cough, every flush of the toilet, every word of your neighbours, and all calls from the reception desk. be prepared to use your earplugs, or you will be awake all night. the mattress was covered with a layer of plastic, that made you sweat, and the sheets weren´t of the best quality.
if you want the alhambra experience, give the parador or the alhambra palace a thought. these two are also better choices for dining and breakfast, at a reasonable price, whereas the breakfast in hotel america is overpriced, regarding choice and quality.
