Im happy with my decision about the points and was wondering the following:
1)Does this hotel measure up to the Sheraton Diana Majestic in Milan.It seemed better by rooms as well as more expensive
2) is there an executive floor and do they serve breakfast?
3) Has anyone found a wireless signal from outside the hotel that was unsecured and usable?
4) Is the Spa at this hotel a good spa and free to gold SPG?
I have read other posts that said the FOUR Points is a dump so I didnt even consider it.
Finally does any one have any thoughts on good day trips by rail or car outside of Milan. I will spend the 5 days prior to coming here at the Villa Crespi on Lake Orta . I would be more inclined to utilizing the trains vs. a driver
I will answer what I can:
1)Yes the hotel measures up to the Sheraton Diana Majestic- most prefer the rooms here- the bar in the Majestic is more fun though
2)I don't know of an executive floor- think continental breakfast is included but best to check
3) No
4)Don't know
Four Points is not the best hotel on Milan, but is not a dump really.
Definitely your idea of taking the train is a good one- head into switzerland, go to sirmione, or if you want you can even head to Venezia comfortably on a day trip
