I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights in Feb 2005 with my Starwood Points.
PROS: - You know what to expect. The lowest quality Sheraton but OK for one night. The price for 1 night was EUR 115 w/buffet breakfast. The staff is friendly and willing to help. The issue about the magnetic key for the door is sometimes usual in many hotels. The thing about the swimming cap doesn´t make your stay better or worse and you look really funny with it! Take a pic!


CON: A very important CON is the location. It is very far from the center of Rome. If you do not get the shuttle or miss it, you will have to take the metro from Rome to a bus station and then a bus to the hotel. At least 80-90 minutes. Same thing when you go the other way.

The shuttle service is not the best since it sometimes leaves the designated places BEFORE the scheduled time. So you get there on time and it´s gone. One thing you can do is phone the hotel and tell them to ring the driver and let him know that you will be there. It works.

TIP FOR ROME AIRPORT: When you arrive, even late at night, do not choose to take the "non-official" taxis offered to you at loud voice. They charge sometimes twice the regular taxis. Get in line with the locals waiting for cabs and eventually yours will come. I got in at 1AM and waited 15 minutes but paid 30 euro instead of 50 to the Hotel. During working hours taxis are there in millions
