My stay at Best Western Plus Hotel Farnese was generally enjoyable, but not without some disappointments. The location is decent for those traveling by car, as it's just a short drive into the central area of Parma. However, the hotel's decor and balcony felt a bit underwhelming, resembling a prison courtyard more than a relaxing outdoor space. Yet, the comfortable beds and great dining options helped redeem my experience.
