Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Wine Area 3 Stars Hotels

"We were here in the off season, they were nice. It’s very bare bones. The shower has black mould and half the TV stations are blurry. "

This past weekend was the worst experience we have ever had at a hotel - ever. And I won’t be back. We booked two rooms (family of 6) and paid for breakfast. We showed up to check in around 2-2:30PM (we live in another town so it took us a few hours to train down to Pescara.) The lady at the front desk would not take my Italian issued ID.
