Great place just very hard to find and to find parking. If you have a car and a lot of luggage I wouldn’t stay there again.

Hotel Italia
Convenient location near most of the tourist activities and Castello district. Rooms were clean and staff were great. Only complaint would be the lack of working facilities. A couple of plugs didn’t work and the AC was very temperamental.
