The first clue of the problems that unveiled themselves with quick succession was the sour look on the receptionists face, unusual in Italy.
The lift that took us up was at least 30 years old and so small and rickety that we decided to take the stairs which were covered in threadbare carpet and the carpet runners had left their fixings so it was really dangerous.
The room which was booked as a refurbished executive room with a pool view was diabolical.The bathroom had not been refurbished at all for at least 20 years, the toilet leaked and the floor was wet from this. The shutters finally opened after a struggle to reveal not a pool but the roof of the lounge with a small glimmer of the pool to to one side. The beds were of the old metal frame and wires type that you used to get in youth hostels .The tiny TV was on a bracket in the corner of the room.
On being told we were not happy with the room the sour face showed us a superior refurbished room. Well the room was not bad but the bathroom was a narrow corridor, no bath, strange for the best room type, and the toilet was positioned that only those 1.5mt and shorter could sit on the toilet.
I suppose that i should have expected all of this from the rusty old sign outside and the 30 year old armchairs in the lounge and being told by the sour face that the hotel was like a harlequin.
We left in a hurry after being told that ,even though we did not like the hotel, it didnt mean it wasnt a good hotel.
Avoid at all costs!!!
