I stayed at the American hotel a few times and it is due to business I need to carry out in the area. The neighbourhood is scary though and would not advise tourists to go around there. The staff is lovely, polite and a true pleasure to deal with. The hotel, however, is dated. The rooms are extremely basic and definitely not worth the full price of the hotel. The bed and bedding is not adequate and lighting in the room is awfully dim. Furniture in the room looks is old and damaged. I expected the food to be extremely good but I was disappointed. Dishes are very salty and on the mediocre side. You would expect a little bit more from any place that is in Italy. A Turkish place in England cooks better Italian food. All in all, If you need to stay in the area, it is a clean place to stay and the staff is lovely so I would recommend it but it is not a hotel that otherwise should be visited or stayed at.
