We stayed there in October as part of a Newmarket group. There ARE definitely some positive points; specifically, the table service at lunch and dinner, rather than the now distressingly-common buffet-based scrum we see in many chain hotels nowadays. It has to be remembered as well that October is definitely towards the later end of their summer season, and a number of other local facilities had already shut for the winter, and a nearby mini-market had permanently closed as a victim of the Italian government's Covid restrictions. The room we had (non- sea side) in fact had (a small) sea view, but was certainly adequate for our needs. The bathroom was, again, at least adequate. I note an earlier complaint about a small shower, but ours was certainly acceptable - we've been in other hotels where the shower unit was considerably less good. Continental breakfast, buffet-style, was fairly innocuous, except for the orange juice machine. There's been a previous adverse comment about this; the orange juice dispensed is small in quantity and extremely watery in quality. I can say without any fear of contradiction that this was the worst I have ever tasted anywhere - indeed after the first day, I didn't even bother. It wasn't disgusting, just without any taste at all! The coffee was good, once I managed to persuade the staff that I didn't want "americano", but a large full-strength espresso. Dinner menu selections were ordered at breakfast, from a choice of two starters and two main courses. Not, perhaps, the biggest menu in the world, but, again, acceptable. The wine list was quite reasonable, with a single glasses of house available , at non-eye-watering prices. We had small snack-type lunches on two days, with choices from an a la carte menu, but even so, not excessively expensive.
