Scene
Family-friendly hotel on the Mediterranean
The scene at Hotel Medusa is usually calm and quiet, though the hotel does attract families with young children with its family-style rooms complete with cribs and a play room with toys and activities. Mountain bikers stay here so they can lock up their bikes indoors in the dedicated bike room. Public spaces are cozy and intimate. Outside, a greenhouse style terrace dining room is decorated with pots of green plants.
Location
Down an alley in the old town section of Finale Ligure
Hotel Medusa has a prime location in the old section of Finale Ligure on a cobblestone pedestrian street. The beach is less than a one-minute walk from the front door and the neighborhood teems with pizzerias, osterias, gelaterias, and shopping. Parking comes at a premium. There's a small unguarded and free lot near the hotel, or a paid parking garage nearby.
Rooms
Clean, but dated rooms; some with terraces and sea views

All rooms have free Wi-Fi (though the connection can be unreliable), a flat-screen TV, and electronic card reader that controls air-conditioning and provides tourist information. Furnishings are basic. Bathrooms are clean, but small, with single sinks and stall showers.
Features
Beach discounts, restaurant, and bike storage
Mountain bikers not only store their bikes in a locked room on the property -- there's also facilities for washing them and tools for maintenance. Bike and scooter rentals can be arranged for those who didn't bring their own. An on-site restaurant with outdoor terrace gets good reviews for its breakfast. There isn't a private beach at the hotel, but guests get a discount to use the showers, changing rooms, and chairs at nearby Bagni Ondina. Wi-Fi and self parking in a small lot are free. A fee is charged to use the parking garage.
