We'd just driven through Spain and the dreadful rain and flooding caused by the DANA weather it wasn't just in Valencia and Andalucia, it seemed to be everywhere. We were knackered when we arrived with our two dogs in our 'mini submarine' and were initially concerned the hotel would be right on the motorway and totally naff. You get used to naff and being treated like lepers when travelling with dogs, even well-behaved ones, but we were pleasantly surprised. The room wasn't luxurious but it was spacious, comfortable and with a big bathroom. Plenty of hot water, towels and hanging space. The restaurant and bar were actually open. The staff spoke English and were pleasant and accommodating. There was even proper grass around and about the hotel for our dogs to make use of and bins for their toilet bags. The dogs were allowed in the bar, and the bar staff were quick to arrange a table for us to eat at in the bar as dogs were not allowed in the restaurant. We thought that was thoughtful as we hadn't had to ask them first. If we're ever back that way, we'd certainly stay at The Hotel Montermosa again.

The rain!😉

We have stayed so many times here . Very very dog friendly and so welcoming and helpful. No dog rules thrown at you on arrival at all . Such a great location, the team are incredible and very helpful. We needed a vet to look over our poodle . The kind lady Called the local vet Loboscott in Arranda where we were so looked after . We loved the food in the bar Great breakfast Safe parking free Plus the rooms are so comfortable plus warm . It’s a dream to be able to publish this and share such a great hotel right on the motorway.

On the whole excellent value for money, I recently reviewed the property on our way to Malaga as I previously said the service and staff are excellent! some of the rooms are looking a bit tired, I did mention that the shower in room 169 was a bit dodgy!! unfortunately it's still the same,hence the lower score. hopefully,if they read the reviews they might fix the shower,I would definitely stay again but I would ask for a different room.

bath room needs a bit of TLC

Plenty of parking available right outside. Close to main road but far enough away for minimal road noise. We ate in the bar, very nice food. Lots of locals seem to use the restaurant.

Next time I'd ask for a first floor room. The ground floor seemed to be primarily dog owners. With wooden floors it was quite noisy with the upstairs room moving their furniture around and dogs using the corridor for exercise. Not a huge issue but a bit annoying when you've done a long drive and have another day to go. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

Easy to find, just off the motorway Plenty of parking - we had a trailer and lots of room The receptionist was really friendly. Breakfast was good, plenty of options of food

The room was a bit stuffy and hot. Because of facing the road it wasn't possible to open the window due to the noise factor. The choice for coffee at breakfast was a Nespresso machine. If you wanted to add milk, the only option was the cold milk there for cereals, which then gave you luke warm coffee. On previous visits coffee was served from the bar with hot milk.

Well located hotel just off the motorway. Very friendly and helpful staff. Super dog friendly allowing dogs into cafe/bar. Lovely dog walks opposite along farm track with picturesque views. Tasty reasonably priced food. Free parking and WiFi.

Slightly outdated decor to guest rooms/ bathrooms but still very clean. Like all Spanish hotels there is a lack of sound insulation between rooms so if your neighbours want to listen to their tv on high volume then you have to also!

The hotel is close to A1 and very handy, Meals were adequate. Rooms very clean

Breakfast was unattended, so you had to ask for replenishments such as hot water for tea, bread for toast. The bathroom was sadly lacking safty features, I had a fall whilst trying to get out of the shower/bath as there were no grab handles or a safety mat for the shower. Wifi wasn't the best.

Excellent location on way from Murcia to Santander. Lovely bar area filled with locals, garden area to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine. Restaurant food was extremely tasty, we had paella and in our view not expensive. Breakfast 12.5 euros was well above average and had a massive selection. Perfect for a quick o nonsense one night stopover.

Only problem was the mattress, definitely in need of a new one. Bathroom shower head would not stay up and reported to reception who sent someone to fix immediately.

Well located for travelling back to the UK with my dog, 2 mins off motorway. Although you can’t take your dog into the attractive gardens located at the hotel there are very pleasant walks across fields and farm land opposite. Dogs are allowed in the cafe which is an absolute bonus when travelling solo. Plenty of hot water and very comfortable bed. Very efficient and friendly staff.

Bathroom was a little tired, the toilet seat being broken. As with all Spanish construction there was little noise insulation between rooms but luckily the neighbouring room switched their booming tv off at a decent hour!

Fabulous hotel, great staff, great food, spotless rooms but unfortunately every time we stop here we get a room with the awful view from the window, always rear facing room overlooking a tatty corrugated rusty tin roof, I even asked at reception for a nice front view but still got the scrap yard view. Other than that it's a great stopover heading north/south from Santander ferry.

The view from our room, always looking at a scrapyard.
