We chose this hotel after reading Karen Brown's review. We have found her books most useful in choosing accomodations and we travel alot. After reading recent reviews on trip advisor we were so concerned we almost cancelled our reservation. I am SO glad we didn't. From the moment we entered the hotel we were so delighted that I wondered if the poor reviews were about a different place!!! All the staff were so warm and helpful. The hotel is charming and was very clean. Even the pool was clean although it was too cold too swim. We were immediately told that although we were paying for a deluxe room we were upgraded into a small suite--bedroom and living room and complementary fruit bowl. We enjoyed the complementary continental breakfast--excellent latte and delicious baked goods. My only recommendation is that lighting in the bedroom is improved. It was too dim. We really liked the peace and serenity of being outside Lucca and we loved exploring the town of Lucca , bicycling on the ramparts and listening to opera arias in one of the churches which occurs every night. I would definitely recommend going to Lucca and staying at Locanda L'Elisa.
