Absolutely fantastic location - right next to amazing gelato and near incredible restaurants. Hotel was clean, room was sizeable, and staff was very helpful. They booked our taxi to the airport for us! Breakfast was delicious and copious. My one qualm is that the fitness center didn't open until 9 am which is a little late when you want to get out to do things.
