Well, good time to report on what it’s like on Saturday now I guess.

It’s 10:30am here currently. We ended up getting in bed around 2am after coming back from the Opening Ceremony. Around 7:30am there was hammering happening that woke us up but it subsided quickly. Sounded more like light work and we went back to sleep.

9:30am housekeeping came and we were still in bed. The Do Not Disturb signal is electronic and doesn’t seem to stick. Again, I think the hotel got cute and installed motion sensors to try to guess if guests were still in the room. There is a little electric panel outside the room that I think shows if the room is occupied or not and the motion sensors don’t do a good job if there’s two people in the room.

Anyways, now at 10:30am there is some minor band saw cutting noise… not as intense as the hammering yesterday but still noticeable.

For us, it was still optimal to stay here for the Opening Ceremony since we could walk home from San Siro Stadium (45 mins) and didn’t have to deal with the mess of transit after the ceremony.

In terms of area, there’s not much touristy stuff around. A 10 min walk to the metro line that gets you into the center.

Location aside, I would definitely reach out to reception to see when construction is done if you’re planning to stay here.
