I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The room was quiet and very clean. The king bed mattress was quite comfortable. The flat screen TV was large and I found plenty of channels that were of interest to me. The hot breakfast consisted of bacon or sausage, which was alternated throughout the week, and small egg omelets filled with cheddar. The hot breakfast was not elaborate but it was tasty and filling. The breakfast room also had the obligatory Belgian waffle maker and flavored batter. The waffles were good. The A/C in my king room worked well for the duration of my stay--important as the temperatures outside were in the upper 80's. Unfortunately, the A/C in my brother's room was cooling only sporadically for 4 days. If you choose this hotel in the summertime, make sure that the A/C in your room is cooling sufficiently at check-in. The hotel staff was very friendly. There is no pool at this hotel, which didn't bother me. My room was on the 3rd floor, and I was dismayed to find that the only ice machine in the hotel was on the 1st floor--the only reason I didn't give this hotel 5 stars. If I am in need of a nice, inexpensive hotel room in Florence in the future, this will be my choice.
