As others here, we stayed at the Cosmopolitan Concept to simplify getting to our early morning flight.
The hotel is very modern, with well appointed rooms. Somehow we wound up on the top floor, in a corner room with wall to wall windows on two walls. This was a nice surprise and gave the room a very airy feeling. Our room was not large by north American standards, but was a good size for Europe. The bed was very nice, and everything was clean and well maintained.
The staff were very helpful, providing directions for how to get to central Florence by bus, and recommendations for a restaurant. There is parking on site, although apparently on a first come first served basis. We had no trouble parking. Although the wifi was 5 euros extra, it was very fast and simple to access.
The bus trip to Santa Maria Novella took about an hour, and was very simple with no transfers required.
It is close to the airport, about 5 minutes drive, and there are several gas stations within a block of the hotel, making that last minute rental car fill easy (note though that there are no staff at any of them on Sundays, so you have to pay by cash).
This hotel is located in a suburb of Florence, and is very convenient to get to the airport. I would recommend it for that purpose.
Room Tip: Our top floor corner room was very nice.
