Pros:

Stopped one night on way to Sicily. Chosen due to location just of motorway. Restaurant and small bar. Good dinner and breakfast. Reasonable priced petrol station just over roundabout. Perfect for our needs.

A quick and convenient overnight for us.
Pros:

Tesla Superchargers on site. Room was large, quiet, dark and comfortable. Great balcony and good view. Good value for the price.

Cons:

Access from the rear car park and EV chargers was not obvious. We were there in the middle of winter and the place had an almost deserted or abandoned look about it. But I appreciate them staying open through winter. I'm sure it would be hopping in summer.

Décevant
Pros:

L’emplacement

Cons:

Tout commence le week-end avant notre réservation, où nous recevons un message de l’hôtel via booking, un message d’arnaque très bien ficelé qui nous demande de rentrer nos coordonnées bancaires pour confirmer la réservation, étonnement nous y retrouvons nos informations personnelles, les dates et le montant exact de la réservation.

À notre arrivée, nous allons à la réception, l’on nous donne les clés sans aucunes indications (ni l’étage, ni les informations sur le petit déjeuner, les ouvertures de la piscine, etc).

À la piscine, le personnel est peu avenant, pas même un bonjour. Nous devons quémander pour avoir des transats ou pour qu’ils allument les jets d’eau pour les enfants.

L’hôtel est impersonnel, des couloirs vides, pas de décoration, les lumières extérieurs éteintes, les chambres sont vieillots.

Un punto di appoggio per muoversi nel sud della Calabria
Pros:

La posizione, strategica per ogni tipo di spostamento essendo vicino all’autostrada.

Cons:

Le camere e i bagni delle camere non curati, i letti cigolanti e i bagni molto rovinati.
