What motorhome travellers say
Camper owners find the area convenient for visiting Bologna thanks to its proximity to the train station and public transportation, appreciating the automated entrance and the available services. However, they complain about poor maintenance, inadequately cleaned bathrooms and showers, dim lighting, and noise from the ring road. Some users have mixed opinions about the management and value for money. Generated by AI from the text of user reviews
