This meets traditional Marriott standards for room size, service, ambience, friendliness. 5 Stars for that.

The hotel is about 10 miles from downtown and you need to reserve and take their shuttle. It drops you off near the Tiber on the Vatican side. Not expensive but if you go during rush hour, the trip may take 45-60 minutes. Same coming home.

An alternate is a cab which cost about 40-50 euro and really doesn't get you there all that much faster. It is not really near the train or the metro nor night clubs or restaurants. Essentially, I think it is a business hotel

A good Marriott hotel that meets their standards but a little out of the way for touring.

Hotel is not up to Marriott standards in quality of service even though they are a 4* hotel. The physical structure is new and pleasant. Prior to arrival, they promised help with a wheelchair and finding a local laundry. When we arrived the promiser was on vacation and we had no help for days. Finally a concierge gave assistance. They would not allow another guest to have a rollaway for his child even though he held a printed reservation in his hands stating so. Everyone was constantly charged for mini bar items they did not use, always someone at front desk complaining about this. Front desk gave different answers to same questions. Breakfast buffet had 45 minutes remaining yet cook flatly refused to refill numerous hot dishes, said he was too busy. In room phones were often inoperative. Car park valets are not available so you must park car yourself in lot which is 10 minute walk away. Luggage valets were rarely seen, we carried our own bags via hotel's cart. Hotel is 20-30 minutes outside Rome. Marriott bus has odd schedule and one drop off location. During our 7 day stay front desk could not exchange US$ or Traveller's Checks into Euro. They're not ready for prime time. Stay in town, not here.

Terrible location . Quirky rooms - OK if you like Baroque style with a modern twist . Only redeemed by above average service from staff and excellent icecream in lobby bar !!Dont know who designed the lobby but there last job must have been a warehouse or railway station .

Nice hotel, american style. US room size, clean, accomodating, very american. BUT... the property is isolated and you cannot walk around as per the concierge "there are wild dogs" surrounding the prooperty. I saw a pack of them as I walked to the bus stop. Taxi ride to center city is 20-40 euros depending on time of day. You can buy a bus ticket from the gift shop for 1 euro to take the bus to the metro and the metro to the city. This takes a while buts saves good money. The hotel provides a shuttle, but it is 10 euros round trip and you must book and pay in advance. If you miss your time, you lose your money. Food at the hotel is pricey and just ok. Most employees speak english. Check your bill--upon checkout I found some charges that are still being disputed. The woman behind the desk was rude and not helpful at all. Alex is great at the front desk!
