Let’s start with the plusses:
• The location is perfect. 5-minute walk to Spaccanapoli and Spanish Quarter and other tourist spots.
• The rooms are comfortable and clean.
The not so good points:
• On Orbitz it says breakfast included. But if you dig deep, it actually costs an extra $16 per day for breakfast. I told the owner this is misleading and she gave me two passes for breakfast at the café across the street. Only issue is the pass was only for cappuccino and a croissant not a sfogliatella. That’s a $7 breakfast. Hope you get more if you paid $16.
• The real issue is the elevator in the building. You enter through a dark, dirty parking garage to an elevator. During parts of the day there is an attendant, and you need to pay 20 cents to use the elevator. Hope you have change. Day one the elevator was down for a few hours. Day 2 it was down for 24 hours, and we had to walk up and down the steps multiple times to the fifth floor. 108 steps if you are counting. The day we left the worst case happened. We had to leave at 4:00 am and the elevator was down again, and we had to haul our heavy suitcases down five stories. One of us could have fallen and been seriously hurt.
• The beds only had a sheet, no blanket. Maybe I was supposed to ask for a blanket, but I have never been in a hotel anywhere in my many travels where only a sheet was on the bed.
The owner was nice and tried to do right but could not overcome these issues.
