I'm a point whore and.............

I'm telling you to stay away from the Marriott in Milan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not a bad place but it is in the middle of NOWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We checked out after two nights and moved to the Sheraton, not a lot better but at least it was close to some type of nightlife. Milan is not one of my favorite places. JMHO.
 
Hotel King SRL, its very close to everything, has a great courtyard. I stayed there in 1998. Great service great breakfast. corso magenta is the street if my memory serves me right.
 
Stay at the Hilton milan. Its a nice hotel with quite a few things to do. Just be careful when you walk out to the left the major train station is right there and can get interesting. I usually jump on the subway to Lanza which is the bar district with a bunch of good restaurants like Top Kappi. Huge portions not expensive. There are a couple of bars around there I would frequent.

The hilton is nice. There are a bunch of good cafe's right around there and get a usatoday. Milan is a dirty industrial city with not much to do.

I'm with Rice but after spending a month waiting there i was ready to jump infront of the trolly.
 
Rice, just curious about your da-20 and lr-jet type, did you get them flying cargo?

Diesel, a month is a long time to sit around in milano. I was there for a month working during the week and it still got tired. Hope you got to see other cities.
 
No just milan and some of lake cuomo.

Got to learn every inch though. :)
 
Westin Milan.

Hilton is in a dumpy area near the train station (if thats the one everyones talking about..) been 4 years since there but never again, old and musty.

Marriott is in a quiet residential area with nothing there. The only people under 50 yrs old at the Marriott will be pilots. Khakis, black shoes or white sneakers, blackberrys or cells on waist, vendor gear polos. Spot em a mile away. Marriott kinda sucks.

Milan requires pilots to think outside the "point" mentality for a few moments (you'll be OK....) otherwise you will be a good walk through dumpy areas to get to the action. But hey, you get points right?

And yeah, Milan is no Florence or Venice. Its a 2 day max place IMHO.

Long stay, Id love to get up on Lake Cuomo.
 
Firenze is a 3 hour train ride and WORTH it. Roma is another 2. Yeah Milano kinda sucks but Italy is great overall. You have to get on that train and see another city. I agree with the location of that Hilton, too many gypsies begging for money.

Hilton was fine last year ... got lots of points ;) The concierce, Petro, always sent us out for a GREAT meal.

As for the location, just get on the subway. It is right there.

Nope no boxes in my past but I can think of some pax that I'd like to have put in a box and haul like cargo.:smash:
 
I am staying at the Hilton right now. Don't plan on getting anything to eat before 7PM! No restaurants are open from 3-7. Overall, Milan is pretty disappointing.

See. there ya go again!! Something wrong with the Whitefish? Or maybe the Gifilte fish sangwich???:laugh:
 
Star Rosa is also a good one near the Duomo. We also stay at the Hilton and we like it. As for places to go for dinner have the concierge get you a taxi and have the driver take you to the canals.

It is a very large area of bars, restraunts and street vendors. Officina 21 is one of my favorites there. Enjoy.

Yo Ricey!

If your still there check out the Italian'ish place on the South side of The Dan hotel on the main drag there in Tel Aviv.

Only good food I ever found there. Place is a serious dump no doubt!

SHALOM you poor bastard!

;)

dont remember...it was a while back...

get in touch when you get home!

(is that next month?)

:)

DOH!
 
who do you guys work for spending so much time in europe? Sounds like a nice gig. any openings?:beer:
 
Last time I was there Universal booked me into the Principe Di Savoia. Not a bad place but Real Old School. This place was ancient. Typical old school, great location, lots of history but not much in the way of modern amenities.

I think next time I am going to try the Westin, the Marriott is in the middle of no where.
 
LR- Take a left out of the hilton and then another left and go down to the new york restaurant. Food is okay but its served all day. Hope this helps.

Also check out the panini's on the other side of the main train station where they sell the USATodays not the stand right next to the hotel next to the rental car place.

Also take the train to lanza. About 3 stations. When you come out of lanza take a left and another left where they were doing road construction then a right. Walk away from the trainstation in that direction about 4 blocks down on the right.

Also on your way there is a left hand small alley that has a bunch of restaurants and bars open. I've got pictures of every step i can send you.

Yes i know a month there i got a little bored. :)
 
Subway was fine in Milian .... smelly, but safe

My biggest problem with the subway in Milian was the stinky ass sothern Europeans would get on you practicaly want to puke. I never felt physically threatened however. Hey, I can take the "T" in Boston, I can survive a stinky Scilian!

I have been riding around for the past few days on the Munich U-bonn and S-bonn. Now that is nice ... except for the beer and kraut farts ... oh wait a minute that was me!:laugh:
 
Stupid germans and their honor system for the subway tickets.

HAAAAA
