We're just back from a 3 night stay at the Sheraton Fireenze. We stayed there do to the low number of starpoints needed per night.

Positives: prompt shuttle to/from town - about a 20- 25 minute ride

clean

good cappuchino

Negatives: very dated - 1970's or 80's

very basic room with hard mattress, 1 bar soap, 1 shampoo

nothing to walk to

non-smoking room smelled of smoke

To tell you the truth - I am surprised this a Starwood property. The pool wasn't open when we were there (early June) and the tennis court was completely overgrown and had large branches on the court and huge weeds everywhere. The service was mixed - from indifferent to helpful. It seemed to cater to tour bus groups on a budget.
