Where We Stayed: Semma Lombardo

I think I got so excited to write about where we ate in Italy that I forgot about the last hotel where we stayed on our trip. The Idea Hotel Milan Airport is located in the suburb of Semma Lombardo. It is very close to the Milan Malpensa airport, about a five-minute drive, which makes this location good for the night before a flight. On the other hand, it is rather far from the center of Milan, so this location is not the best choice for exploring the city.

The room itself had a decent design and layout,

but it wasn't very clean.
We found somebody's half-empty water bottle on the floor. Granted, the bottle was somewhat hidden by the curtain, so maybe housekeeping didn't see it, but we also spotted a few ants in our room. I realize that the room was on the ground level and thus could be more susceptible to having ants come in from outside, but seeing them in combination with the bottle did not make me feel good about the room's cleanliness.

Breakfast: The complimentary buffet included pastries, yogurt, cereal, eggs, and potatoes. There was a sign saying that people with early flights could get breakfast to go.
Bathroom: shower only
Elevators: yes
Internet: free wifi in lobby, as well as a couple of workstations for guest use. We didn't try it on their computers or ours. In-room wifi is available for a fee.
Nearest playground: not sure
Recommend to families with young children: only if word from other reviewers makes my experience seem like a fluke
Recommend to families without kids: same as above
