My only negative is don’t get fooled by the drink and appetizer deal they have posted all round, the food is just peanuts, chips, and parm cheese- it is not the yummy food they have pictured as you would assume- kind of a bait and switch. But the hotel itself was perfect and Bologna just might be my new fave Italian city, great location for visiting other towns. ##### tabitha Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Excellent location in a modern clean hotel.
