This was a really nice property centrally located to some great places. First day I even woke up to a violinist and laying outside my window! I would say the only downside is the wifi and reception. Not the hotel’s fault but Rome is just awful with reception and wifi. If you’re coming, order a MiFi hotspot that you can pick up from the airport on arrival. You should always have good reception with it. Great hotel!

The plant is somewhat aging but satisfactory. There were toilet problems which were fixed upon report. Quiet and the price is good. 8 minute walk to the convention center. Rooms are clean and the bedding is nice. Didn't eat in the restaurant. A little annoyed that there is a "Resort fee" undisclosed before sign-up Room was pretty spacious. On the River.

The hotel was nice, staff made it great. The two gentlemen working the concierge were wonderful. I can't remember both of their names, but they were extremely helpful and friendly. Thurston had good happy hour drinks, but it was his whole vibe that made them exceptional! Would have been nice if there was a small store- or even complimentary- necessities for traveling. The front desk was kind and accommodating. The room was clean and spacious. Bathroom could use some updating. We had zero control over the temperature of the water- ranged in the extremes of boiling hot to freezing cold at random and there was no bathroom fan at all. Considering how much this hotel charges this brought the whole experience down. With the hot temperatures outside, not being able to take a relaxing shower was enough to sour the hotel stay over the course the multiple day stay. The hotel provided two complimentary bottles of water- $8 charge for the other. I feel like it should have been based on occupancy, in our case 3 comp bottles, so each person started their day with one. We were able to get a cup of ice water from the bar as needed. This wasn't a deal breaker, and probably would have gone unmentioned had the bathroom situation been better. At this point it was just "one more thing". I can't say we would stay again. I wouldn't want to risk the water temperature experience again. Although, the rest of our experience was nice.
