 | Hotel Isa: mixed feelings

I have mixed feelings about my stay, which took place in October 2006. The hotel was well located within a reasonable walking distance to Saint Peters and the different staff we encountered (front desk, maids, waiters on the terrace) during our three day stay were all nice. The balconies were charming (we had two, as we were at the end of the hall in a corner room) and the bathroom was modern and attractive. We were traveling with our youngest child who had just turned 3 yrs old, so not exactly on a romantic getaway, but I was disappointed to see three twin beds! My three yr old and I ended up in the same twin bed to give her a sense of security in a strange place and that made for an awfully crowded arrangement. Unfortunately, the beds were all hard as a rock (like sleeping on a carpeted floor). I didn't sleep, needless to say. The walls seemed to be thin--we would hear our neighbors using the bathroom at night. I was also not pleased that the TV did not have cable and therefore no English speaking channels. The TV itself was a good quality, however. The striped paint on the walls and the decor definitely dated to the 1970s (see photos) and it was a little creepy to wonder if the matching bedspreads had been there since the 70s, as well, since they matched so well.
Breakfast is included in the stay and I must admit that the breakfast on the terrace was wonderful! The terrace view was quite beautiful, the food was good, the table settings and the buffet were attractive.
