Meglio accordarsi prima o andare a fare la spesa con loro se si ha tempo. Una volta se ne è andata la luce ma dopo poco è ritornata, hanno attivato il gruppo elettrogeno probabilmente che faceva rumore dal mio appartamento. Dopo un' ora ha smesso. ##### MARIA GRAZIA Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels.d180002.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Casablanca](https://www.expedia.ca/Casablanca-Hotels.d6084755.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Travelsuites Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Travelsuites-Inn.h8120.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Bay Resort And Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels-Mandalay-Bay-Resort-And-Casino.h203613.Hotel-Information) > > [Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Simpson-Bay-Hotels-Simpson-Bay-Resort.h1256868.Hotel-Information) > > [Brookstreet](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Brookstreet.h917532.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) > > [Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Amboseli-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h978634.Hotel-Information) > > [San Diego Mission Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-San-Diego-Mission-Bay-Resort.h25598.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Canada.d31.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Jamliz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Mwingi-Hotels-JAMLIZ-HOTEL.h48214087.Hotel-Information) > > [Harrah’s Laughlin - A Caesars Rewards Destination](https://www.expedia.ca/Laughlin-Hotels-Harrahs-Laughlin-Hotel-Casino.h43310.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barrhaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrhaven-Ottawa-Hotels.0-n553248635976007688-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Amboseli-Hotels-Kibo-Safari-Camp.h14826564.Hotel-Information) > > [Chelsea Hotel, Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels-Chelsea-Hotel.h27994.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Parañaque (MNL) to Bang Phli (BKK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/bkk/manila-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from Township of Woolwich (YKF) to Tampa (TPA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/tpa/kitchener-to-tampa) > > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Reno (RNO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/rno/victoria-to-reno) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/yeg/winnipeg-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Dieppe (YQM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yqm/toronto-to-moncton) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/lax/vancouver-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) ### Cruise ### Packages ### Vacation Rentals
