Great stay

We wanted a hotel adjacent to the GC Suns stadium in Carrara. The Elite is an easy walk across from it. The hotel itself was really good value for money. The room was clean, well appointed and big enough for us. We had a nice quick meal in the bistro which was well priced and very good.
