Hotel Vecchio Borgo
It is a very old property like Italy. I enjoyed the breakfast and the staff was friendly. They can do a better job updating their linens. The bedding and pillows were needing replacement. I did not like the immediate neighborhood.

Hotel Politeama
Short, wonderful stay in a clean and spacious room. Loved the location overlooking a cool plaza, and pretty good shopping/restaurants within a 7 minute walk. Expensive designer stuff really very close if that is desirable to you. Breakfast was extra but great variety with healthy options avaliable ...

Grand Hotel Piazza Borsa
Overall, this is a good hotel. Only because it is super large, we need to walk a long way to get to the room.
