Guest Ratings & Reviews
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean with a large bathroom and shower, making the stay comfortable. However, the service was lacking enthusiasm and could have been more welcoming. The location was great, being close to the old historic center, but lacked easy access to the ocean. The dining experience offered classic Italian dishes but left something to be desired. The facilities were adequate, but some aspects could be improved.
