Madrid Ritz is nice...

...but I'd be just as happy in one of the smaller places I have stayed in Madrid. Posh is not my style. I must say, the level of service is pretty amazing. The doorman asked my name when I arrived, and I could tell he was concentrating hard to pronounce it back properly. When, ten minutes later, I headed out for a walk, he called me by my name and asked if everything was OK. Impressive!
