This was a great property to stay at for the price. The lobby and the rooms were beautiful and spacious. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would say the biggest downside was the area the hotel was located in. It was in a bit of a slummy area with a lot of graffiti, but we did not feel unsafe as long as we walked a certain direction towards the piazza. The other downsides were the terrible pillows and the rooms were very tired. There was a broken hair dryer, broken chair, ripped curtain and what appeared to be moldy or a dark stains in the corners of the walls. It was not noticeable at 1st, but as we stayed through the week, we noticed all the little things that showed the property could use some maintenance. Again, for the price, it was a great stay.

Not really “air conditioned “

The beds and breakfasts were wonderful, however the temperature in the room never cooled down-even after we turned it down, it would always shoot back up to a very uncomfortable temp resulting in us waking up in sweat and having to adjust the temp down again over and over. When we first checked in, our room had a large stain on the wall which was unsightly to say the least-I went down to the front desk to show her the picture and Eleanora was gracious enough to put us in a different room-she was very helpful and kind!
