2.6Upon registering, we were told that there had been a mix up in our reservations and the double room we had booked was not available and "if we wanted to stay in this hotel" we would have to take two single rooms for the night then would be put into a double room the next day. Apparently, if we had not taken the two singles,we would have been put into one of the other B&H hotels, although that wasn't stated and we were left with the feeling that we had to take the two singles or look for another place to stay. We took the two singles, which were very nice, extremely clean and quiet. The next day, we were told there was no space at that hotel, but were shown another room, next door, that I think was actually an upgrade, although that wasn't stated. The room was comfortable and again, extremely clean. It was however, very noisey and unbearably hot. When we called the front desk, the staff was VERY rude, we were abruptly told that the air conditioning had been turned off for the season and we should try opening the window. When we asked if there was a fan available the answer was a rude "no" and a hang up. The heat and noise were the only complaints of the room. The staff, regardless of which shift was on, we found to have no customer service skills and some of the rudest people we've found anywhere.
The breakfast, while not awful, wasn't as described. The hotel is in a good location for sightseeing and other than hotel staff, we had a wonderful week in Florence.
