The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. My only issue was that the security lock on the inside of my door didn't work. I notified the hotel manager at the desk, who sent someone up to fix it. After several unsuccessful tries, it was still not working. No one offered, but I did not wish to gather up my things and move rooms - I was only there for one night. I pushed a chair and a stool behind the door to block it and went to bed. The next morning, when I asked the manager if they would discount my room due to the issue, I was informed that since I had "said it was fine" that they would not offer any refund/discount for the fact that the door was unable to be locked.

Really good location. My 6'4" husband doesn't fit in a double bed, so we got 2 twins, which worked just fine. But something to keep in mind. Location was great.

Good location. Small room. Pictures really weren’t 100% what pics were but ok. Shower was really small with nowhere to put things in shower etc. But bar/restaurant downstairs was good. Most of staff was very good.

Location perfetta vicina al centro. La camera è spaziosa ma il bagno non era pulitissimo. L’accesso alla camera non era molto agevole perché ci sono due piccole rampe di scale da fare. Colazione non a buffet, mancava l’opzione continentale.
