We stayed here because it looked like a nice hotel, and we got the price very cheap on hotels.com compared to the Best Western prices. Although it was far from Rome, the hotel said it offered a shuttle to the train station so we tried it. On the train from Rome to Pomezia, we called the hotel, but they said they didn't have a shuttle driver that day. But they could call us a taxi. We weren't interested in paying 30+ Euro for a taxi. That's why we took a bus to Termini, and a train to Pomezia/Polomba. We waited for a bus, and it took us the 8km to Pomezia and we walked 10 minutes with our luggage, a stroller and baby down a hill through a highway off/onramp with no ped x-ing and finally got to the hotel. The next day we asked for a shuttle to the train station, and again, they had no dri1ver. But we found a Cotral bus that took us to Laurentina Metro stop in Rome for 1.90
The hotel is nice, the service is pretty good, and you CAN do tourism from this hotel. But here are a few tips and facts to manage your expectations.
You need to arrange for a shuttle to the train station at least 1 day before. You might have to twist their arms, but they will give you one if you persist. However they NEVER have a shuttle available in the afternoon/evening to pick you up.
The hotel says they have free wi-fi and ADSL IN ROOMS, but when you try to use it it asks for 10 Euro /24 hours. I showed the hotel staff a print out of their website claim and they said they would not bill me for the internet.
Breakfast is good, but we were there 3 days before we realized we needed to ASK for eggs (they are not out on the buffet). I think you can also ask for meat, but we didn't try.
If you use public transportation, it realistically takes you at least 1.5 hours to get to the center of Rome whether you take the train or bus.
The changing rooms at the pool were always locked, and you DO need to bring a towel from your room, because there are not not staff at the pool as advertised. However, the pool is nice, and the landscaping around it is beautiful.
Some of the advertised ammenities are offered by the neighboring Olympia sport center/spa, which is near the hotel, but not part of it. You must pay extra for these services.
The rooms are very nice, and big by European standards. a "comfort" room is a small room, our "executive" room was a 2 room suite with the bed in one room and a couch in the other. I don't know if this is the actual executive room, or if they just put us in a nicer one for whatever reason, but it was VERY nice.
The maid service was very helpful, they came each night asking if we needed any evening housekeeping in addition to what they did during the day.
All in all, it was a good stay, but if you are trying to pinch pennies, be prepared for some logistical frustration. If your company is paying for your taxi, or you have a car, then you should have no problems.
