I give this hotel 2 stars because the staff was very professional and accommodating, good water pressure, lots of toiletries, mini-refrigerator, tall mirrors, and a lavazza coffee machine with complimentary water. I booked this hotel because I had one free Marriott night and not many points. At 21,000 points I was a little skeptical, but thought it was a Marriott, so how bad could it be.... First, if you plan to stay here when it is hot out and are used to nice cool air conditioning at home, I advise to stay elsewhere. We moved rooms once and both rooms only got as cool as 25.5C or 78 degrees. Terrible temperature for sleeping and we also had a fan in the room. Had we had more time, we would have checked out before our second night and moved to another hotel. The hotel is definitely dated, but currently undergoing a renovation. The buffet breakfast looked very nice, but we did not partake. There is no magnified makeup mirror in the room. The shower is not a walk-in, but a tub/shower. The hotel is located roughly 1.5-2 or so miles from the main attractions, so not terrible if you don't mind walking. If you want a taxi, you need to call in advance. There is a large supermarket across the street. Also, to get here from MXP, if you catch the train, you need to take it to Cadorna (the last stop) and somehow call a taxi. It was about 8 or so euro for the taxi ride to the hotel. We had no idea and a nice man gave us his taxi. I would definitely make arrangements with the hotel or get a phone# before arriving. The taxi ride to or from the airport is about 110 or so euro.
