Hotel Grand Hotel Continental in Tirrenia

- Same breakfast every day.
- The breakfast room is infested with huge flies everywhere, even on the food because they insist on leaving doors open for smokers.
- No actual meat included in breakfast only processed meat. No boiling water available so cant make a proper cup of tea.
- Parking is only available for a specific amount of guest (first come first served) and it doesn't even apply to the entire day and on top of that there is no guarantee that you will have a parking spot available to you. When we asked why to the front desk they replied because the parking permit is expensive. Well at 300$ USD a night so is your hotel for what you are offering.
- The maids dont even change the bedsheets they just rearrange and tuck them back in. We had to make a fuss about it to get them to have it done.
- dirty pool never cleaned from the looks of it
- the private beach is only available until 7pm so you cant even access it to watch the sunset. Staff tell us to walk 15 min to go to the public beach instead. Further putting in doubt their nightly rate.
- the rooms are tiny, and feel pretty dated. The prehistoric tv and wardrobe is a good indicator.
- you have to call front desk so that they activate the air conditioning.
- the elevator seems to have a mind of its own. It only decides to show up when it feels like no matter how many times you push on the button. So most of the time are forced to take stairs, which is really inconvenient for people with handicaps or respiratory illnesses
- the hotel is an a remote area unless you have a car. The problem is they can't accommodate cars so kind off force to take public transit, which takes an hour to get to any major city such as Pisa. At that price there should be some sort of complimentary shuttle service offered.
- hotel claims it is a non smoker hotel. the balcony ashtrays and cigarette smoke coming from central air conditioning system suggests otherwise.

Overall not worth 300$ USD nightly.
