I loved the elegance and diversity of the daily breakfast, the courtesy of most of the staff, the charming Italian decor, and the room upgrade. That said, the first evening I stayed there, a frightening incident occurred when a person knocked loudly on my hotel door and managed to open it. Although the door was not dead-bolted (our mistake), it was locked, which caused us great panic. I called the concierge right away, who managed the situation verbally (and sent someone up); however, there was no hotel-initiated follow-up or courtesy given from the hotel, which we found to be quite odd.
