and worked well, and overall the room was very clean.
The continental breakfast was one of the most impressive things about the hotel, where most hotels will offer one plate of cheese and a few bread rolls, Al Piave produced a selection of italian meats (my favourite) and cheese, plus croissants, toast, cakes, fruit, and cereal.
