My wife and I will be visiting Italy in June, 2012. We will be driving round trip from Paris, so we need a "base camp" in Northern Italy. We have booked 5 nights at this property (28,000 points total, due to 5th night free) on the following assumptions:

1. We want to see Como for a day, Brescia for a day, Maggiore for a day, maybe Milan and some others in the area. By staying at this hotel, instead of one of the hotels in the city, we will save a lot of time by not fighting traffic out every morning and back every evening.

2. The hotel will be clean and modern and not very exciting. It has a lounge so we get breakfast. We will be staying at other more interesting properties during the trip and we are fine with "normal" for this part.

3. The parking charge is annoying (because of airport prices), but it would be the same charge (about 30 EUR) in the city.
