Looks like a great place though I'd pick a hotel with better IT security :P Edit: Actually as it's only an advertising cam for their website they have a valid reason not to secure it :)

PS: Living in Spain so I don't have much to complain about.

A camera like this makes me question something - why was it installed in the first place? You can't distinguish things like license plates on cars or faces (I doubt ML helps here either). So what is this for? The view is beautiful, but I fail to see the purpose of it.

Ah and in this case it actually makes sense for it to have no password. Unlike many of the elevator and office cams I'm seeing ;)

I'd love to visit your cold office, because here it's 37° C, very humid, and it's still a week away from the dog days of summer. Air conditioning can only do so much in this humidity.

Indeed, Torino is not exactly on the sea. How are this location obtained, geoip?
