We were also stuck in Rome for an extra day. This place was wonderful. The complainers must be spoiled tourists who expect top accommodations at mid-range prices.
We arrived via free shuttle at an awkward time, just after noon. Although not open for lunch, the manager/hostess, Maria, offered to make us some. She was basically sharing the mid-day meal she'd made for herself and the driver, Massimo, by throwing more pasta into the pot. We were the only guests at that time. I never thought I would like simple pasta and tomato sauce, but it was delicious. Maria shared with me some of the secrets to that great sauce. This lunch was modestly priced. Afterward, we all had a siesta before the wonderful, full dinner of seafood, steak, and grilled fish (the place is also a restaurant, where locals eat at night).
The rooms were basic but very comfortable. I had the best sleep in all of my two weeks abroad. This is sort of like an American B and B, for which my countrymen pay through the nose for rustic "atmosphere." But this was the real deal. The rooster next door kept crowing day and night, but it was wonderful. He was big and beautiful. Who thought that one could have this experience in Rome proper? Not I. Well, this is what one deals with by trying to get by on the cheap in Rome--you might get stuck in a National Preserve with only corn and sunflower fields to look at. If someone doesn't like this scenario they should just stay in the airport Hilton or Marriott.
This stay was one of our highlights after being on a regimented cruise/tour. We loved it. The airport transfers by Massimo were perfect and he also portered our bags. The pamphlets available there didn't do justice to the beauty of the place.
We plan on going back next time we need an airport hotel in Rome, or maybe even just needing a place in Rome, period.
