adequate stay, issues noted

the breakfast selection had fresh items and the staff restocked everything efficiently.
the shower leaked consistently. it flooded the bathroom after each use, so towels had to be placed on the floor to manage the water. this issue was not resolved, despite reporting it.

The breakfast offered a good variety, with fresh options available each morning. reception staff provided helpful advice and recommendations. They were so friendly. i was pleased to receive a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival. this hotel really provided the best value during my trip through italy!
It started early each day, even on sunday. this disrupted the peace significantly. huge machinery, reversing beeps, and loud music made it hard to relax.
