La Spezia is not an upscale town….but the hotel is very nice with an excellent breakfast plus it’s close enough to walk to the train station to catch a train to Cinque Terre, Genoa, or Pisa.

In what feels like a weird area but is actually pretty walkable to tons of shops and restaurants. Hotel staff were very, very nice.
