central location large assortment friendly front desk
i stayed at this hotel for five nights the location was central i could easily walk everywhere i wanted to go. breakfast was plentiful each morning with a large assortment of choices. the front desk was friendly they helped me with dinner reservations. i had a suite and there was plenty of room to relax i didn't feel confined at all.
during my stay it was noisy the rooms didn't appear to have much noise insulation. there was a punk rock concert under my bedroom window on the last night. it was in the main piazza and the sound really carried.
