Any decently priced hotels in Milan?
Hello... My boyfriend and I are staying one night (after 1 full day) in Milan before a return flight home and I'm trying to find a hotel that doesn't cost a fortune! They seem much more expensive than anywhere else we're going (I realize Milan is very expensive anyway). Any ideas of a hotel in a good location that won't cost us an arm and a leg? Thank you, in advance, for any help you can provide!

I was surprised that Milan is not that expensive at all. IMHO, they have much more affordable standard business-type accomodations than other Italian cities we stayed.
We stayed at hotel Berna (http://www.hotel-milano-berna.com). The reason for this was their breakfast... and, more important, that our flight was early and we wanted to be near the train station to be close to the airport shuttle bus. I booked this hotel via Venere.com, which was cheaper than via ther website, and used a Venere.com discount code that somebody posted here. In Milan, they gave us a free room upgrade, but you cannot count on such things

What's your budget? (Although I agree somewhat with Marusja1 with regard to the availability of business-type hotels, I'm usually disappointed on some level with what you get for the money.)
In Octoer 2006, we stayed at
Hotel Star
via del Bossi 5
www.hotelstar.it
Very basic business hotel not far from the Duomo. We paid 159 euros for room #23 facing the street. Decor was blah, but the compact, well-organized bathroom was recently renovated with lots of marble. The street is quiet, and there was no room-to-room noise. The breakfast (included) was an excellent buffet of eggs, bacon, fruit, yogurt, breads, juices, coffee. The front desk staff was efficient and helpful.
We've also stayed at the Villa Malpensa at the airport, although not on any recent trips. The rate there is higher, but the hotel and rooms are very attractive. Breakfast included, and the hotel operates a free shuttle to the airport.
