Hotel pros: 1. very hospitable staff (told everyone about the cinque terre, gave a map and train schedule) 2. clean room (there are beach towels that are changed for a fee of 2 euros) 3. proximity to the sea and free beach (2 minutes) Minus: poor breakfasts: no hot dishes of scrambled eggs, bacon, cereals. But in general, it is a good idea to stop in Monterosso, because in other cities there is no beach. The city is charming, especially in the evening. There is something to see: the old city, the Capuzzin Church, the statue of Neptune. I advise you to visit the Belvedere restaurant and try their specialty amphora with seafood, especially since hotel guests have a 10 percent discount.
