"Breakfast was not very good. The staff for breakfast was not friendly the best part was the spacious room the AC stopped working it was super hot, front staff some of them were very nice but not very knowledgeable about directions or times"
"Nice small typical Italian hotel. People were great very helpful. Small bar, got a bottle of wine to end the night. I wanted a place near the water. Turns out, got told by a local, if you put your finger in it, it might not survive. Don't know never saw the water unless I was taking a taxi. Easy pick up on frontage street. Was only there 2 nights. Worked for us. Cobbstone walk to frontage road downhill. Coming up you can take stairs then cobblestone downhill to entrance."
