It was fine for a short stay. Location was ideal, entrance was hard to find. The property was old and dated but it did make it kind of "old world" Italian. The rooms were a good size and bathrooms spotless. The floors were not cleaned well. Limited amenities and same breakfast every day. I also was bitten by bed bugs on my back and arm.

Good location, very close to the local markets, the hotel too old and outdated, but overall clean, staff friendly, breakfast was fine. The location is the only thing I was looking for in my stay so it met my expectations location wise. If you are looking for comfort and upscale this is not it. Small rooms, bathroom extra small.

The worst Hotel ever. The workers are rude they hate their jobs and they just rude. They overworking I see the same face working every day since early morning until late at night. This Hotel like a prison whenever you come in and out you have to let them know and they will open the door for you. Just stay away from this hotel
