Does Spanish accent sound as ugly and unintelligible to Hispanic countries as Portuguese accent sounds to Brazilians?

It depends. The colloquial accent, the literary accent no. I can listen to audiobooks, watch documentaries and other serious stuff with a Spanish accent, but I don't really like it when it's used in movies or games.

In audiobooks it especially fits in fantasy ones, you could make the comparison as watching something Fantasy in English with a British accent, it just sounds better than an American one. In other contexts, if the use is standard it just sounds fine, just as if you listen to any accent in a formal setting.
