Hotel Molino Rosso

Food was below par. Go into Imola, don’t eat here.

The staff is very friendly, professional, and accommodating. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The traditional Italian breakfast was exceptional and the longer breakfast hours were nice. I did not have the opportunity to check out any of the amenities. This hotel is in definite need of an upate. The first thing you notice when walking into your room is the very yellow color. Once you get past the color, the room seems a bit spacious, but you can barely walk around the far side of the bed. There are 2 available power outlets, 1 in the bathroom and 1 at the desk, so bring an extension cord if you need power next to the bed. The bed was firm but comfortable. The furniture is very outdated. The bathroom is spacious except for the tiny shower. If you're not skinny or have any mobility issues, taking a shower will be a challenge.

If you're a light sleeper, this hotel is not for you. The road noise of cars and especially trucks is very loud, so you will have to close the rollup shutter to muffle the sound - you won't eliminate it. Then you can hear everything from the room above - the clip-clop of shoes walking across the floor, the rolling wheels of a suitcase, and even conversation. You will hear other doors on the hall open / close and even the phone at the front desk ring. The rooms, the halls, the lobby, the stairs are all finished with stone and tile, so every little sound is amplified. There is nothing installed anywhere to dampen sound.
