This review is here just to give you my pros and cons about this hotel and to help you with making…read morea choice. We made a bad one based on reviews here, so here is my opinion about this hotel:
Staying here for the second night today. Our room is on the first floor. Pretty big, for three people, but there are two of us(we chose to pay more and have bigger room) while choosing on Expedia.
Smell in the room is killing me. No, killing doesn't cover it. I never had asthma and all of a sudden I started coughing and my air pathways were narrowing. No other rooms were available but one on the first floor with the same smell. So my choices were to find another place to live or to deal with it. I opened the window and slept with it wide opened. Cold, but at least I could breathe. It is either a bad mold or they kill cockroaches, or something of similar sorts. I had a choice of moving, but after 11-12 am, and we had 9am tickets to Vatican that were impossible to cancel. Also, who says that the other room will be better? Staying in the same room second night in a row. The window is wide open, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
Just had an adventure in the shower :) Here is a story for you if you are interested. It takes 4-5 min to heat the water in the shower. The shower pan is high and the water stays in it and it doesn't drain properly. The adventure was to have a hot shower while standing in 3 inches of icy cold water. If I turned down the shower, it became cold again, so no choice of waiting for half an hour for the water to drain. If I kept the shower running, it starts to overflow after 15 min, so no, not possible either. You an stand on you tippy toes and have a shower while you are warming one leg at a time. Feel like a flamingo now :)
