Good location, some drawbacks

fantastic locationhelpful staffnice breakfastsmall roomdated decorationtedious sellers
The location IS REALLY fantastic! It is very close to St Peter's Square. The staff were helpful with directions. Breakfast offered a nice spread.
The room felt small and somewhat dated. The shower room design was a problem since it made the entire floor wet after showering. The street had many sellers that i found tedious.
