If you want to visit Milan, then you have to rent a car, otherwise it's a nightmare getting to and from Milan. The hotel is about 2km away from the beginning of the metro line (I think there is a bus that runs from Cinisello Balsamo-where the hotel is, to San Giovani, where the metro line starts).
On the other hand, maps on any gps are outdated, because there are constant works on the roads around the hotel- some of the streets on my gps had disappeared completely.
My makeshift solution was to rent a car and drive to Sesto San Giovani where the metro line begins (driving in Milan is awful, so I wanted to avoid that). Just next to the metro station there is a big parking lot- 3 euros for a whole day. The ticket to center Milan costs 1.8 euros.
Now back to the hotel itself: I would say that it is an "honest" hotel because what you see is what you get. A big parking lot of their own (and a public one just across the street), clean looking building, not many amenieties but everything that is there works perfectly, is clean and proper.
Rooms: quite spacious, nicely decorated, but many of them face the highway that passes just under the windows (the soundproofing is great, we couldn't hear the noise coming from the road). Large beds, not a very large wardrobe.
Staff was great, they helped with anything we needed, spoke very good English.
Overall impression: it would be a great hotel if it were somewhere closer to means of transport. I would probably stay there again, but only provided I have a car again.

Important: GPS maps are outdated in the hotel area, due to multiple road works and new streets. I used iGo and TomTom (latest versions from 2011), plus OviMaps (latest update from 2012). You can follow the road safely to Cinisello Balsamo (if coming from Linate airport), but there is no round about there, so just follow the signs to Cinisello Balsamo Centro (city centre) OR depending on the road you took, follow the signs towards Via Cornaggia (hotel's address).

Now the facts:
Location: far far away. It's not recommended for tourists. It's at let's say 10-minute drive from closest subway station where you can park. It is a good option for business travelers (most of the population staying here) that need to go to Vimercate.

Overall look: pretty modern, clean with nice rooms. You'll get to 5th floor if you're a gold member, 6th floor if you're platinum. I was neither so I stayed at the second floor, in one of the newly restored/decorated rooms. Although it's close to the highway, it's not noisy. There's a good phonic isolation of the road.

Reception: They speak English, good enough to get along with them. Daily newspapers in the lobby (mainly Italian, but not only). I had some problems with my AmEx at their POS, but my card chip may be damaged (just warning you to have a backup).

Restaurant: I didn't try the food, due to my schedule, but I noticed that prices are 3-4 euros higher than Milan city center area (near Duomo or near Buenos Aires Blvd). If near Duomo you'll have a pizza for 9 euro, or pastas for 11-12 euros, here you'll pay 13-16.

Can-do policy: there's not much offered by default but they are willing to do just about anything to please you. So they say.

TV: a large selection of channels in many languages due to Sky box for digital TV, but whenever the tv guide spells movie, they spell “contact the reception” on the screen. You also have the pay-per-view system, separately. Anyway, if you're staying here, most likely you'll be pretty tired when you reach the hotel.

Taxi: they operate their own green cabs.

Parking: generous and free.

Local fauna : ) - at night (around 21-23 hours) the bunnies show up behind the hotel, on the lawn. Sometimes you may even see them in front of the hotel.

The things I hated: the universal shower gel – shampoo, all-in-one dispensers which always remind me of a shopping mall. Not to mention I ran out of shower-shampoo-gel in my last day of staying there. Two days before leaving they decided to remove one pair of towels, because sharing is everything in a couple – or I hope that's why they did it.

Internet: good wireless signal. For me it was included in the room rate.

Tips: bring a mains adapter and a GPS. You'll find Schuko sockets, but to my surprise many of the mains you can find in offices and even in the hotel are for the three-legged plugs. If you want to pay a lot for a meal and feel fancy, go to Navigli area, in Milan.
