Massimo Plaza Hotel

When we appeared at the hotel door, a couple guys came down immediately to take our luggage up to the lobby. We loved the location - right across from the Teatro Massimo which is a perfect landmark, easy to find on any map and close to everything we wanted to see. The hotel is on a pedestrian-only street which was fabulous. There was a real festival air to the time we were there; it was a weekend so lots of people were downtown and hanging out in front of the Teatro Massimo plaza, and later listening to live music on the street close to the hotel. There are cafes and shops all around the hotel. It's an easy walk to everywhere. Very comfortable bed, good lighting, nice bathroom.

We had to eat breakfast in our room, which they brought on a tray, because they had a large group staying there which took over the lounge area where breakfast is served. It was a little awkward because we only had one chair in our room so one of us had to sit on the bed to eat.

Location was very central - close to restaurants and bars but not noisy. You make your choice of sweet or savory breakfast the night before and breakfast is served in your room.
