Etna Suite
Very good location. Good bus connections. Room comfortable. Only drawback is very slippery shower floor and no grab-bar to hold onto. Great coffee and food choices nearby.

Il Principe Hotel
Unfortunately this hotel has seen better days! Hallway carpets were disgusting/dirty, and the room was not much better. The photos on Hotels.com do not relate to the reality of what is the hotel. On a positive note, the women who checked me into the property was very nice!
