8/10 Good

"The hotel check-in staff were lovely and helpful and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful stay. The Wi-Fi was excellent, and the air conditioner actually worked in stark contrast to some of the other hotels where I had stayed in the nearby area. I recommend this Hotel and I would stay again. I also want to note that the pesto pasta at the restaurant within the hotel was the best that I had had in the entire Liguria region."
