Just returned from a trip Italy and have some random thoughts to share. Why stay near Milan's Malpensa Airport v. in the city? Well, we were just passing through Milan and via the Internet discovered for 79 euro a **** business class hotel with free shuttle and delicious breakfast. It sealed the deal compared to much higher priced digs near the train station or Duomo. Magnificent scenery and hiking in the Dolomites. Food, hotels, etc. were great. Almost all trains and buses were full to SRO during our trip in early/mid October. High season must be a massive crush of humanity. Most of the local trains were filthy.
