Anonymous User: The hotel is comfortable for those who arrive from the highway, it is not ideal if you want to visit the city because it is a little away from the center. The staff is super nice and available, the only sin are rooms to be renovated and air conditioned to be completely adjusted
Via Emilia Pavese, 114A
From € 58
Guest User: Very good and central location right at Piazza dei Cavalli, breakfast was quite extensive: besides typical Italian sweets, cut melons and other fruits in whole, various grains and nuts for a musli, warm, pancakes, Cheese/worst and small pizza cuts. The breakfast room is all above in the 7th floor with view of the city. The staff at the reception was the friendly. We were allowed to leave our car still in the garage after check out. The room was comfortablely modernized and without a tape, the bathroom was also comfortable large. Our wish for a quiet room was met.

肖永红1983: I booked this hotel at the high speed halfway. The parking lot is large and free. The front desk is an aunt and the service is very good. The elevator is small 😏. There are 2 euros city tax after Trip.com pays

約克夏賴小大: The hotel emphasizes its environmental policy, so everything is charged for, and nothing is provided. Even basic amenities like drinking cups for guests are missing; you have to buy them yourself from a nearby Lidl, otherwise, forget about getting water! The room's power switches are incredibly unresponsive, forcing you to wait in the dark for the lights to come on. Furthermore, the refrigerator and heater in the room are unplugged, requiring guests to find a way to plug them back in. Otherwise, you're left without the refrigerator, heater, or air conditioning – a real letdown considering its recent renovation. It's worth mentioning that the staff on the evening of February 17th loved to tell lame jokes. When the air conditioning wasn't working or the refrigerator was out of power, they'd just say, ”Everything in Italy is slow-paced,” when in reality, the hotel had unplugged all the appliances. Guests had to move the appliances around and plug them in themselves. No problem, unless you're disabled, you can figure out and fix the problem yourself. The only redeeming quality was the excellent service and food at the breakfast restaurant. I was very full. On February 18th, the female server with black hair at the breakfast restaurant was very friendly and had excellent service. I suggest the hotel reward her. After all, given the hotel's unusual circumstances, she was the only one who met the standards for a normal hotel stay. She definitely deserves a reward. All the unreasonable aspects of the hotel only highlight her good service!

Anonymous User: The experience of staying at this hotel completely exceeded my expectations! From the moment I stepped into the lobby, every staff member showed a professional service attitude, took the initiative to assist in check-in and patiently introduced the hotel facilities. The rooms are modern and warm, the bedding is soft and comfortable, the sound insulation is excellent, and the sleep can be completely relaxed at night. The bathroom is designed to separate dry and wet, equipped with high-end bath products and constant temperature shower equipment, and the details show the quality.
Via Cristoforo Colombo, 29F

Anonymous User: Slightly dated, but well maintained, convenient location with ample parking near stadium. Extreme kindness of the staff, all my requests were satisfied and very fast checkin which is another very important thing.

Michael_Lin.: The train station is 3 or 4 kilometers away. There is a big supermarket nearby 1-2 kilometers. There are a lot of things to eat. The room is oversized. It is similar to a motel. The front desk of the hotel is very warm. There are many types of breakfast bread. It is delicious.
Via Primo Maggio, 82
From € 88
Guest User: The hotel is located in a quiet small town. It should belong to a homestay. It is very clean and the proprietress is very enthusiastic. It changed our impression that the Italians were not enthusiastic at all when we first arrived in Italy. There are fewer restaurants in the town, and there is one in Wenzhou Chinese restaurants run by people feel expensive, there are many small supermarkets, you can buy food, you can park for free on the roadside, and there are extra small beds in the room. Because it is a self-driving car, I don’t pay much attention to the traffic. The overall feeling is better than the few living in the back Good hotel
Via Giacomo Morigi, 35/A-B
From € 81
Guest User: In a small town, the sanitation is good. There are not many places to eat. There are free parking spaces at the door. The proprietress also runs a bar. You can eat downstairs in her house. There is a small bed in the room, which is equivalent to living. 3 people

Whispering Cafe 🤍🌿
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Whispering Cafe 🤍🌿 This is my first time creating a review page. It started as my favorite cafe, Whispering Cafe, filled with a warm, green atmosphere that creates a relaxing atmosphere. There are various seating areas to enjoy the atmosphere, both inside and outside. The new building is now complete and open for business. There's also a paddling pool where you can get up close and personal with the ducks that live on the island in the middle of the pond. You can take beautiful photos from any angle. Open Saturday - Sunday from 9 AM - 6 PM, located in Sam Phran, Nakhon Pathom Province. #planswithpan #Let'sPanTogether #whisperingcafe #whisperingland #cafe #cafehopping #bangkok #thailand #nakhonpathom #cafereview #nakhonpathomcafe #AmazingThailand #TheLocalPlanets #wongnai #wongnaivibe

Erie Presque Isle lighthouse photo line in Pennsylvania
#overratedspots I visited the lighthouse at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, and found the area around it more crowded than I had expected. The lighthouse itself is small and charming, with a nice view of Lake Erie, but the walkway leading to it was packed with people all trying to get the same photo. The experience felt more like a popular selfie spot than a historic site. I drove into the park and parked in a lot about a quarter-mile from the lighthouse. Parking is free, and the park is open year-round, though the lighthouse has limited hours and some areas are only accessible by guided tour. I made the mistake of not checking the tour schedule and arrived just as a large group was finishing, which meant a long wait for the next one. One thing I did not expect was how short the actual visit was. The tour lasted about 20 minutes, and once at the top, the view was nice but not spectacular. The narrow staircase up was also a bit claustrophobic, and the group had to move slowly to avoid bottlenecks. My suggestion is to visit on a weekday or early in the morning to avoid the longest lines. If you want a great photo without the crowd, walk along the beach to the side of the lighthouse, where you can get a good angle without waiting. For me, the lighthouse was worth a quick stop, but the photo line and the short tour made it feel more like a checkbox than a memorable experience.
Youngstown Mill Creek Park trailhead crowd in Ohio
#overratedspots I arrived at the main trailhead of Mill Creek Park in Youngstown, Ohio, on a Sunday morning and was surprised by how busy the parking lot was. The park is known for its beautiful gorges, waterfalls, and wooded trails, but the most popular trailhead had only a small lot, and it was nearly full by 9 a.m. I ended up parking along a side road and walking an extra ten minutes to the start of the trail. The park is free to visit and open year-round, which is great, but some of the trails can be crowded on weekends. I made the mistake of not checking the park’s website for trail conditions or parking tips before I left. As a result, I was not prepared for the steep sections of the gorge trail, which were muddy and slippery in places. One thing I did not expect was how many people were there for the same photo spots. At the top of the falls, a small viewing platform was packed with people taking turns for pictures, and the wait felt longer than the hike itself. I also learned that some trails are not clearly marked, so I had to rely on a paper map I picked up at the visitor center. My suggestion is to arrive early in the morning or visit on a weekday to avoid the worst of the crowds. Wear sturdy shoes, as some trails are rocky and uneven. If you want a quieter experience, explore the lesser-known trails on the park’s west side. For me, the park was a lovely escape, but the popular spots lived up to their hype in the wrong way.
Akron Lock 3 amphitheater lawn in Ohio
#overratedspots I attended a free outdoor concert at the Lock 3 amphitheater in Akron, Ohio, and found the lawn seating more frustrating than I had anticipated. The venue is set in a nice urban park, with the stage backed by old industrial buildings, but the lawn filled up fast, and by the time I arrived, an hour before showtime, the only spots left were on a slope where it was hard to see the stage. I parked in a nearby lot for $10, which felt steep for a free event. The gates opened about 90 minutes before the music started, and people spread out blankets and chairs quickly. I made the mistake of not bringing either, so I ended up sitting on the ground, which became uncomfortable after an hour. One thing I did not expect was how poor the sightlines were from the sides. The stage is not elevated much, and if you were not directly in front, you were staring at the backs of heads or trying to peek between people. I also learned that the sound quality on the lawn was noticeably worse than near the front, with the music muffled by the surrounding buildings. My suggestion is to arrive at least two hours early if you want a good spot on the lawn, and bring a blanket or low chair. If you want to actually see the performers, consider standing near the front, though be prepared for a long time on your feet. For me, the event was enjoyable, but the lawn was not the relaxing evening I had hoped for.
Toledo Promenade Park river-view bench line in Ohio
#overratedspots I visited Promenade Park in Toledo, Ohio, on a warm Saturday afternoon and found the river-view benches nearly impossible to claim. The park is beautiful, with its clean walkways, modern landscaping, and wide views of the Maumee River, but nearly every bench along the waterfront was taken. People were picnicking, reading, or just soaking up the sun, and the few empty spots were snatched up the moment someone left. I parked in a nearby garage for $5 for two hours, which felt reasonable. The park is free to visit and open year-round, though the best times for a bench are early morning or weekday afternoons. I made the mistake of arriving around 2 p.m. on a weekend, which is clearly prime time for both locals and tourists. One thing I did not expect was how much the park felt like a local hangout rather than a tourist destination. There were no grand monuments or must-see attractions, just a well-designed space that the community clearly loves. That is great, but it meant there was not much to do besides sit and watch the river. My suggestion is to bring a blanket and sit on the grass if you cannot find a bench, or visit early in the morning when the park is nearly empty. If you want a great view of the river, walk to the far end of the promenade, away from the main entrance. For me, the park was a pleasant surprise, but the bench line was a reminder that even quiet places have their crowds.
Cleveland Public Square holiday-tree line in Ohio
#overratedspots I visited Cleveland’s Public Square during the holiday season to see the famous Christmas tree and found the area around it completely packed with people all trying to get the same photo. The tree itself was tall and beautifully lit, no question, but the crowd of tourists, families, and photographers made it hard to appreciate the display. The experience felt more like a staged event than a festive moment. I arrived by car and parked in a nearby garage for $12, which felt reasonable for the area. From there, I walked over to the square and immediately felt the crush of the crowd. The square is free to visit and open year-round, though the holiday decorations are only up for a limited time. I made the mistake of not dressing warmly enough, and the wind coming off Lake Erie made the wait feel even longer. One thing I did not expect was how long the line moved. I waited nearly twenty minutes just to get close enough for a decent photo, and then I was ushered along by the crowd behind me. I also learned that the best time to visit is early in the morning or on a weekday, when the lines are shorter and the light is better for photos. My suggestion is to visit the tree very early in the morning or late at night, when the crowds are thinner and the lights are more atmospheric. If you want a great photo, be patient and wait for a gap. For me, the tree was beautiful, but the line was more stressful than festive.

What people are saying about Ohio
Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
it’s a cool place to just get away for the day with the family. sometimes it’s too packed and crowded. so makes it kinda hard to see all the things you paid for and also a lot of people are disrespectful and just throw there trash on the ground making the business look bad.
Brad jerewRock & Roll Hall of Fame
The exhibition hall was built specifically for rock music, but I don’t know many of the rock musicians.
M38***92Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
This is a really good zoo, despite the past controversy. I highly recommend it, definitely a must visit when visiting Cincinnati in my opinion.
