Fantastic Stay!

Breakfast includes a wide range of food options. The staff showed genuine care. My room had ample space. The hotel provided convenient private parking right next to the building.
The hotel charged for a second water bottle, even for a multiple-night stay. I found this policy surprisingly restrictive.

super location and staff!

inviting decorspacious lobbynice touchconvenient proximity
i found the decor to be contemporary and inviting. the reception and lobby areas are spacious. there are couches and armchairs grouped so one can relax with a drink from the bar. the complimentary water and chocolates were a nice touch. its proximity to the station makes it convenient when traveling by train.
the ac was not working well, and this made the room stuffy. the housekeeping staff did not seem to notice. i did not want people entering the room while we were away, so i did not complain.

The location is super convenient being right across from the train station. I easily walked to attractions. I received vouchers for a complimentary wine at the bar and some local pasta. The rooms included air conditioning and a comfy bed, I enjoyed those amenities.
The room had some wear, it looks a little dated in places. It is fairly standard in Italy from what I saw.
