This hotel was depressing. The rooms had bare minimum, SUPER hard beds, very thin walls, and staff were aloof. My bathroom had a super weird configuration where I could not get ready in the morning so I brought all my stuff out to the bedroom and got ready at the desk. However, the biggest problem with the stay was you had to sleep with your windows open, which allowed in bugs, noise, pollution, etc. I studied the hotels.com website and went to the hotel's website and studied it very carefully before booking. Both said air conditioning. When you got to the hotel they gave you a piece of paper that said they only run the air conditioner late spring and summer. Even with a medical condition they would not turn it on. The rooms were hot and stuffy. They suggested that we open the windows and prop open door to the hallway for airflow. I think not! We were exhausted our entire stay in Rome. My friend's room stunk like mold and had quite a bit of mold all on the walls. My room had a fresh coat of paint but still stuck like mold. I suspect it's from being shut up with no air flow. They at least need ceiling fans to help circulate the air. They're creating their own unhealthy environment. The only positive thing about this stay was it had hot water and the convenient location. However, there were many, many other hotels in the same area, so I would avoid this one.
