Hotel is situated far out of Trieste, a 30-minute highway drive, in a small town with little activity nor charm and relatively few restaurants. The advertising that it is nearby a beach is misleading: walking to the beach, or marina, would be at least a half hour, and driving means parking at the marina and finding the beach. The hotel was loaded with extremely loud American servicemen who stayed up until the wee hours of the morning banging doors and yelling. Management did nothing about this. The door lock of the room jammed and was fixed with brusque service. For what one pays there are better deals in the Trieste area. No pool, gym, sauna or extra services. Would not return.
