Everything was great, but there is construction on the road in front of the hotel making access with a car a bit difficult. You then need to circle back around to get to the parking garage. My recommendation and what I would do in the future would be take a cab from the airport, enjoy my time in Barcelona, then return and pick up the car before exploring the rest of Spain.
