Not a Grand place to stay - we felt "antsy"
We had this "antsy" feeling during our 5-day stay at this hotel. We wouldn't stay there again.
Not that there was anything bad, except for the snotty attitude of a gray-haired waiter at breakfast, who didn't like the fact that we happened to sit at a table set for four at our first visit to the breakfast buffet, He could have been more gracious instead of showing the attitude he did.
But this was the first example of what made us feel so "antsy"; like there were too many restrictions placed on us.
The biggest: "Thou shall not bring purchased food or beverages into thine hotel room". We happened to have part of a bottle of water left over from our day's excursion, and we were reluctant to have the bottle seen by staff as we made our way to our room. Most hotels leave at least a complimentary bottle of water for guests, especially those who consider themselves "grand", but not this one.
The breakfasts had a fair amount of choice, but very little menu turnover, and the food quality was mediocre on average.
Some front desk personnel were warm and gracious, others were as cold as fish.
Why did I say we felt "antsy"? It seems that this hotel may have had a problem with ants in the past,and may use the food restriction to limit the risk of another infestation.
We really liked the location; just a block from the train/bus station, which made our day trips to Pompeii, and the Amalfi Coast really easy to do. Housekeeping was superb. The room was good, but not grand, like the hotel.
