I stayed at the Hotel Europa in Modena. Arriving by car, I had the choice of either park in their garage at 12 euros per night OR park for free in the street with a voucher. I chose the last, and i August had no problem parking there. I asked for restaurant reccomendations, and got two. They were both nice restaurants, and the good thing about Modena is, that you're never really that far away from anything.
Breakfast was OK, but not great.
The room was also ok - a bit on the small sie, but traveling alone, I'm used to getting the smaller rooms.
There were however, hardly room to sit on the toilet - the shower cabin was in the way.
Other than than - nice place, friendly people, and at at reasonable price.
