The location of this property was fairly central in he town of Spoleto. I found that it was a short walk or drive to the main square, and close to necessary shops, ie. grocery store, gas station, restaurants, etc.
Upon arrival at the hotel, we were pleasantly greeted and given our room key. It was a painless check-in process, but be aware that if you’re driving the hotel isn’t clearly marked and there’s no evident driveway or unloading area. There is an underground garage that is operated via intercom button, and was relatively easy to enter/exit.
After check-in, we made our way to our room and it was apparent right away that the hotel is older and in need of a refresh. Although clean, there was a faint musty smell throughout the place, likely due to older carpet. Spoleto is a town that appreciates art and this hotel showcased some nice pieces.
Our room, like the rest of the hotel, was on the older side and we were somewhat disappointed with how worn and aged it felt. There was definitely a distinct musty smell throughout our stay. Our main gripe was the shower’s inability to drain correctly, leaving 3 inches of water to pool at your feet every time you took a shower. Luckily, we had flip flops with us to help alleviate some feeling of being “unclean” as you tried to get clean.
The breakfast buffet was surprisingly good and I’d venture to say better than that provided at nicer hotels we’ve stayed at. They offered a selection of meats, cheeses, pastries, etc.
