I booked the Villa Linda based upon the TA reviews and the fact that the Hyatt across the street was twice as much. Upon checking in I was shown to my room on the ground floor. I was assured there were no rooms on the higher floors. The room was small, dark, with two tiny twin beds, and the bathroom smelled quite bad.
I went back out to the front desk to inform them of my displeasure just as the clerk was checking a nice Italian guy into a 4th floor room - so much for no rooms. She was kind enough to find me a room on the 5th floor which was much better - large bed, newer bathroom, good AC - although you have to walk up one flight after getting off of the elevator.
I am fairly certain that I received the first room because I interrupted the clerk from her lunch and as she stated "oh, you are American". I am not quite sure if I can recommend the Villa Linda, but I am not prepared to dismiss it either. The only thing I can say is to insist on an upper floor.
