- As a result of rebranding, all awards for this property disappeared from the hotel website. I will be staying there mid March on (otherwise expiring) 25k certificate and will report.

Would love to hear how the hotel is after re-branding. Very good gelato place near by along with 2 or 3 good dinner options.

I've stayed at this FP before, several times, and I don't see how this can now become a Tribute Portfolio hotel, unless they went through massive renovations....

Looking at the photos on the official website, it looks exactly the same as before.
They just changed the name and brand.

The only rates I see are prepay and non-refundable, non-changeable. I also don't see any points stays.

Stayed at this property this past weekend.

Pros:

• Less than a 10 minute walk to the Centrale train station
• Elite breakfast was decent (including several warm options) but was very busy
• Gym was small, but serviceable
• All the employees I interacted with were friendly

Cons

• Check-in desk was very small and placement of a beam in the middle of the desk meant that it was hard to form a natural line
• Check-in was very slow
• Very, very, very, very thin walls. I could hear everything in the rooms on both sides of me.

Overall, it was an okay mid-tier Marriott. The room rate was considerably less expensive than a lot of other options nearby, but I’d likely choose somewhere else next time I’m in Milan.

The first two Cons you list are things I can live with, but the third is reason enough to put this property on my Avoid list.

Hilton Milan still looks a much better option for me than any of the Marriott places in terms of value/location (at least till I lose Diamond in March 2024), although the rooms themselves are definitely 'legacy'.

I will be staying at the property for one night in about two weeks. Any questions ? I booked this due to location and price as I am not looking for a super luxury hotel in Milan for just one night. I am only Silver so will unlikely be upgraded from the base "Gioia" room.

So how was the stay?

I'm staying there over this weekend and the only thing I'm concerned about would be the soundproofing between rooms, though I don't remember being bothered by it when it was FourPoints.

I thought it was comfortable and fine. The room was small but was fine for me being solo and for the price point. The location is a bit of a walk from the metro station but the neighbourhood seems relatively safe. The gym in the basement was decent and barely used. Front desk staff were fine - not rude but not welcoming either. I don't recall any sound issues in the room.

Wanted to write a review but they charged me €18 after I checked out. Before I reached home. No idea what it’s for. I emailed the assistant front office manager but it’s been more than 24H and absolutely zéro answer whatsoever. If they don’t respond by tomorrow I’ll initiate a charge back. Nothing else I hate more than this.
