Best Western Hotel Porto Antico
"Good location, front desk staff helped coordinate a last minute early morning taxi for me to the airport which I appreciated. Elevator is very small and slow, so being on the 8th floor created some frustration- they also mopped the floor and didn’t leave any signage creating a slip hazard."
