Everything done right

We stayed at Hotel La Bussola for 4 nights and were completely satisfied. We had a balcony view of the lake from the top floor. The room was large, well furnished, nice bathroom, good airconditioning, quiet, elevator access, lots of hangers and shelves, comfortable king size mattress, good lighting and power outlet access, English language channels on the TV and clean floors for walking around in socks or bare feet. The breakfast is good with a spectacular view. The wait staff are a little stiff and could smile more but they were very nice! So if I had to hunt for anything as a possible deficiency it would be not to have a box of tissues available. But in fairness, we seldom find them in Italian hotels. We appreciated the location because it was not in the heart of town with it's busy tourist traffic but an easy 10 minute walk. Sometimes a Hotel can do everything right but we don't find it often.
