Hotel Piemonte

Friendly, helpful staff at front desk and at breakfast. Clean (very small) room. Stayed here because of convenient walking (with rolling luggage) location to and from the train station. Good for an overnight stay. We arrived the hotel at 9 AM and they let us check-in to our room because it was available. The two computers for Internet use in the small sitting area was wonderful. The keyboard is different from the US so study it before you begin your 30 minutes--especially find out how to make the "@" sign. There is a charge of 1 euro for 30 minutes.

Out room was not in the same building where the hotel is. We had to go out the door, around the corner to the end of the block, and enter through a dirty and gross looking hallway and then stairway. Once you reach the floor that the rooms are on and open the door into the hallway it is clean and well lit. The electricity only works when you are in the room and your room key is inserted into a slot so the room was hot and muggy when we got there (May 2, 2007). Even though they say "air-conditioned rooms" that does not mean the air conditioning is on in you room. I asked at the front desk how to turn on the a.c. and was told that the a.c. does not get turned on until later in the season. We had to open the windows which was fine during the day, however, it is extremely noisy and at night we could not sleep because of street noise, trucks loading and unloading, loud birds, and the sirens from the police station which is just down the block going off all night. Make sure your room is in the main hotel building and not on the ground floor and that the a.c. will be "on" in your room.
