The staff was helpful. The location was great to reach various points of interest. The room included basic amenities. It was cleaned daily.
The air conditioning barely worked , made the room very uncomfortable. The shower had issues with temperature fluctuation. It went from scalding hot to ice cold. The bed was hard. I woke up with back pain each morning.

the location was wonderful. it allowed for easy access to many key spots (i especially loved the proximity to the trevi fountain). the staff members were also very kind and accommodating during my entire stay.
the soundproofing in my room was not ideal. it often led to waits during peak hours.

The staff was friendly and helpful. they gave me a large room. its location is fantastic. Many restaurants and mini-marts are nearby. it is also close to major attractions like the trevi fountain.
The air conditioning barely worked. the room stayed between 72-76 degrees fahrenheit. the shower was a huge disappointment. It would barely work then go from scolding hot to ice cold. the sink would also clog every time i used it.
