On our recent trip to Spain we made an unplanned overnight stop in Jaen without having reservations. The Europa, which was recommended by the guidebooks, was full and had really rude staff. So we took a chance and stayed overnight at the Infantina Cristina, which looked OK from the outside and was right off the main road in Jaen. I wasn't expecting much since we didn't know anything about this place. But the staff was very, very nice (considering we checked in at midnight). The hotel was very clean, beautifully furnished and and the rates were very reasonable. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay.
