For such a large city, Messina has a dearth of accommodations; its budget options are a disaster. At some, you might check in with luggage, with no guarantee that your suitcase will be there when you return to your claptrap chambers.
We've recommended only safe accommodations, and though they offer comfort, they cater mainly to commercial travelers whose expense account might be greater than your vacation budget. Chances are you'll be in Messina for only a night and therefore won't feel the pinch too severely.
