We stayed at Hotel Corallo en route to the Cinque Terre. It's close to the bus route, which will transport you to the train station for Cinque. They have their own parking garage, but it's not free, that is if you're driving. You'll want to pay the price to park there, however, because trust me parking in La Spezia is not in abundance. I think it was about $25 per day. We left our car there the next day and paid about $5 extra for being an hour or so late. There is not a free breakfast included in the price of the stay, but for $5 per person it was worth it. Typical Euro breakfast: Croissants, cereal, salami, cheese, yogurt, coffee, milk, etc. I have a few complaints: The bed/pillow were pretty uncomfortable - hard as a rock. Also there was someone staying in a room above us, and this person spoke very loudly for hours. At a tune of approximately 2:30am. So, needless to say I had very little sleep that night when I had to get up at 6:00am. Noisy guests are not the fault of the hotel though. Oh, I almost forgot...another strange thing: The main light to the room would not stay on unless you inserted your room card into a slot, and then the light was on a timer. I've never seen that before anywhere and I've been all over Europe. That was a bit irritating. Would I have wanted to stay an additional night, no. I wish I would have coughed up the extra cash and just found a hotel in the Cinque.
