This place has the feel of a much more expensive hotel. Incredibly good vibes. Helpful, attentive staff. The restaurant attached to the hotel is excellent (Try the Orecchiette Rosatella). Most importantly the beds and bedding are extremely comfortable, and the shower is fantastic.

Great hotel for a work trip! The staff are lovely, rooms very comfortable, and I loved the mountain view from my room on the 15th floor. I only wish the shower had a shelf or similar to hold my toiletries; bathrobes would have been nice, too. But overall my stay was great!
