Stay somewhere else
Stayed in a room with handicapped shower… the curtain was full of mold and stains. Ate at the restaurant but there was an event so waiters were focused on them and not us. We dropped a couple hundred for dinner and felt like we were a nuance. Not ok

The property was right by the train station, walkable to many areas in the city, and near many places to eat and shop. It was convenient, clean, and the staff was so kind.

I stayed for three nights and had been given a very generous-sized room which was very useful. Very good cleanliness and the breakfast service was good too. Around 25minute walk to Piazza Maggiore which to me is good enough.
