Park Hotel

Park Hotel is very smart looking. Good service, the staff were helpful and always willing. It's on the end of the promenade by the port. Far enough away to be quiet, close enough to get to shops and reasturant. Busy road and bike lane to cross not great with children but doable. We only had breakfast which was typical continental, good choices. We were not aware there was an opportunity for a cooked breakfast nor were offered it. Shame as it would have been nice to have a change. There was a problem with the drains in the room, terrible smell. I asked to be moved to another room efficiently. Shame the pool was not heated, consequently unusable, so not much use to our family, it was early April maybe the water gets slightly warmer as the season progresses. Beds and pillows very hard, don't think they've caught up with the idea of a pillow that makes for a good night sleep yet. As it was the start of the season it was very quiet, no children's facilities ready or offered, everywhere was winding up being painted and put together on the hotel beach. It was lovely to have what there was around to ourselves and, we make our own holiday anyway, just would have been nicer for the children to have more around. Cattolica is a lovely family holiday venue. The hotel was nice and maybe comes into its own in high season. For our stay it was no more than an adequate bed and breakfast. Equally, it was lucky we had a hotel as Expedia messed up with the booking.....!
