Don't use a third party booking site - I did it once

This is a great hotel in Granada Spain. Good breakfast and excellent service here, but I wondered why I got the room I did having booked so far in advance. Not that it was bad, but not the best in the hotel. The manager was honest. I had booked on a third party booking site. I have always contacted the hotels directly before and since. She told me that because of the commission to the site, they set aside a couple of rooms for people booking through them. The rooms were a little less convenient. I don't blame them. I can see why they do it and why almost every other hotel does the same.
Look for a hotel on the third party site and then call them direct.
