These rooms were nice and spacious and right in the heart of Florence which was a great location. However, don’t expect anything in terms of amenities besides a water dispenser and coffee machine.

Good location (although a bit noisy) and fabulous shower. Bed was very firm (good for young backs, not so great for older backs) and rather squeaky. But overall good place to stay for someone who wants a very central location

Cydney

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our rooms were so comfortable and clean. The staff greeted us at the door and clearly walked us through everything we needed to know. The location was conveniently located on a square which made it very easy to fine and remember. The only downside was the we had a lot of luggage and when we needed to leave it, there was not a lot of storage in the space to do so. The staff made it work by putting things in cabinets though.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
I picked to pay for my room at the property but they pre charged me so it was a pending charge on my card and then I had to pay in person. It was a pain in the butt and I have never had to deal with this before when choosing to pay at the property especially when I’m paying more to do pay when I get there. It was also very noisy outside making it hard to sleep. I also chose this property because I got VIP access and they didn’t do any of those benefits.
