Hotel Rialto
Amazing location. Good check in. Some rooms old and tired no windows. Requested move to better room. Water supply on fourth floor a bit unreliable. Rooms clean bed linen clean but blankets not appreciated. O really the most wonderful spot and sensible pricing makes up for a few shortcoming. ...
