Barcelona hotel

My experience from last year, at the end of my cruise stayed extra days in Barcelona. I am a Priority Member, (of Holiday Inn) and was unsure of the standards before I arrived in Europe. I wasn't certain about the location, but it ended up to be great. It is very odd when entering, just an empty room with elevators that go up to the reception area. Near restaurants and shops. I was a couple of blocks from the main street, with all the shops and restaurants. The prices were amazing compared to downtown. I ate out a couple of nights and found the restaurants to be quite good and not pricey. You can walk to the sea, maybe 15 min. Also took transit everywhere, stop was just a couple blocks away as well. Front desk helpful with information. Very quiet location, would recommend and stay again.
