Hospederia Museo Valdepeñas

The big wooden door opened with a creak, and inside, sitting behind the hotel desk, almost in the dark, was the nicest desk clerk. What a delightful place! Part of the delight was the unique aspects of the hotel. It's like spending the night at the museum - because it is part that. From what I was able to learn - I think - is that the owner was a collector of art and of historical artifacts. Consequently, the place is sprinkled heavily with statues and paintings, both inside and out. The other is that it's a nice hotel in its own right. Our room was a little small, but clean and comfortable. The inn's location also is just a 10 minute walk from el centro where there was a hive of activity. The staff is TOP notch. We woke up a little late, but the proprietor fixed us breakfast and made us feel at home. Valdepenas is fun little Spanish town, and I would go back for another taste for sure - and spend another night at the museum!
