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.
For Como ( and Lake Como ) it is a good position. For Maggiore ( ??? ), if you mean Lago Maggiore, it is also a good position and you can visit also Lago d'Orta on your way. For Milan it is also fine and you can arive Milan easily by train. The station in Malpensa is quite under the hotel
