We found the hotel on a web search where my two criteria were "near the airport" and "inexpensive". It must be the off season, because for 40 Euros I am in a beachfront hotel that was once popular with movie stars (according to my driver) and has been brought up to modern standards within the last 5 years.
The decor in my room is thoroughly modern with rectangular shapes, simple colors, and interesting use of painted steel and glass.
For example, notice the doors to the closet on the right, below. They are steel, asymmetrical, and lit from within to emphasize the pattern of holes. That pattern is echoed in the desk in the background (below the flat-screen TV).
Do you see the cube hanging from the wall? That's the fridge.
The bed, with the glass shower wall to the right:
The bathroom also has high-design fixtures and layout. Sorry about the color. The light is actually very good, but my iPad doesn't do a good job of selecting the right tones.
They really did try to make it nice. A towel warmer, even.
There you see that teasing glass shower wall from the other side. This would be a nice room to share with your significant other. Well, except for one thing. This particular room opens onto the lobby:
But they do have other rooms.
Oh, and a nice restaurant, too. Nothing spectacular, just run of the mill delicious Italian food. Since it is right in the coast, 10 minutes from where the local fishing fleet lands, I opted for pasta with seafood. It was amazing. Fresh pasta (slightly unevenly cut spaghetti) and fresher seafood. The seafood included some tiny calamari served whole! Jeremy would have thought they were very cute.
Internet? Free.

Wow, what a splendid hotel to find on the net. It had everything...my mouth is watering from the description of the seafood pasta. YUM!
