「The service was good. Cleanliness is also good. The location is great for the proximity to the airport but at the same time not so nice being right on these busy freeway and road. Spring mattresses need to be replaced with quality memory foam as it makes it feel outdated and less comfortable. Could not control the room temperature easily and the window locked on me so I could not reopen it. It’s my second time so obviously the convenience is there. Shuttle bus to and from the airport is fantastic and is a professional service. All in all a good stay.」
DDongyaoHi, don’t give me wrong, it’s not a bad hotel! Low score is not towards the hotel but to the FCO. I got a late arrival flight, and were mind set for a rip off taxi. Yet, I was in lieu but all of sudden told that I need to go to the other side to take a taxi, by the ground transportation control personnel. Yap, I obeyed and went there, and took a taxi. There we go! The start of the scam. 85 euro, I took that, no problem, since it was 1:00 AM, and I do respect people work that shift. I can see the scanner to charge on CC, but I was told I have to pay cash, which is also ok. I am not ready for that much cash, and we went to an ATM, and it didn’t work ofc since it’s an international transaction. So, I was asked for $150 for the total. Wait a minute, $150 = €85? I am at least an elementary graduate man, and I do know the math. After all the mouthwatering drying process, I was off the hook, by telling I don’t mind to be offloaded and got police attended. Finally, I checked in the hotel 2:00 AM or so and by then I started the good time. Nice front desk, and more than expected room space. The location is not really good, but the scenery is perfect. The breakfast is a good start, and once I decided I will go to Rome by public transportation, I do find the option. That’s the story: no complain to the hotel, but not feeling so well with FCO. Overall, do money change as more than you thought before you are in Rome.
JJoanneMarco, who greeted us was so very welcoming, he explained how everything worked, arranged a friend of his to give us a lift to the airport the next morning. We were starving when we arrived late, on a Sunday evening. He found us somewhere to eat and let the restaurant know that we were on our way.
The room was fine, a little tired, but suited our needs, as we were only there for one night, before flying out of Rome Fiumicino.
Thanks Marco for all your help.
