that hotel also jumps to a price of €250+ if there is a big trade show at the fair. it is an airport hotel. driving into bologna is not as trivial as it sounds. very difficult to park. lots are very expensive.

i have stayed at the palace, roma, and due torri for a few days each. all are in the central old area, which is nice. all are the weakest 3* hotels i have ever stayed in.
