Europe Trip Planning – Where We’re Staying in Milan, Italy

As you can tell, the planning for the Europe trip has kicked into high gear. For our third leg of Europe, we’ll be visiting Milan for five days and staying at the Express by Holiday Inn. The Express by Holiday Inn is located very close to the Milan subway system and the central train station, two huge pluses for travelers.

While some would stay this isn’t a budget place for students, we picked it up for $388.17 (97.04 per night) and we’ll get 1% back on our VISA and another 2.2% back from Great Canadian Rebate. There was a current special to reserve at this exact hotel for $112/night, good thing we didn’t jump on that! We’ll be in a double room complete with all the basic Holiday Inn amenities. The double room boasts a bed, sofa, tv, coffee maker, A/C, TV and just about everything a business person would need. The only thing it has that I wish was free was high-speed internet. This comes at a cost of 3 EUR, most likely per day.

One of the nice perks about Express by Holiday Inn is the free complimentary breakfast! This is an easy way to kick start your day and save a couple of bucks on your trip. We’ll see about sneaking some snacks out for the day as well.
