I used to quote that also, but after we followed a Rick Steve's guide in Spain and stayed in a couple of his recommended hotel/hostels, we are thinking of doing it again. The rooms were bigger and cleaner than what we paid much more for at "regular" hotels, and we were welcomed by the owners, who seemed happy to rent a room to mature married couples.
I'm hoping to find a guidebook or something and see if this sort of pleasant experience can be common or if the Rick Steve's rooms were rare finds.
If it doesn't work out, we may end up knocking on your door and begging for a sofa for a few nights.
