You can learn about the history of Ascoli Piceno with a visit to Piazza del Popolo. Make time to visit the monuments and churches while you're in the area.
"The staff we friendly and efficient. The hotel is very comfortable with large rooms and a wonderful buffet breakfast. The AC in the rooms is limited to 21 degrees (it never managed under 23!) which is annoying. Its not cool enough in the hot weather. Hotel was great for a passing through stop over but a car is definately required here."
