Nicely appointed hotel and courteous staff. Central location is walkable to key points of interest. Parking is an issue. HVAC did not respond to controls. Otherwise, a keeper.

Residence San Giusto
The room did not look like the photos. The air conditioning was set so warm that we were really uncomfortable and the air vent was loose and banging against the ceiling all night so we couldn’t sleep. Parking is very far from the property and hotel staff are very rude.
