I wish I could tell you about the hotel, but they cancelled my reservation without telling me. I booked a 1-week, 15 room reservation 6 months in advance, and was double checking the details online less than three weeks prior to departure when I saw the whole reservation was just cancelled. I called the hotel and they said they had overbooked the week and then had some "regulars" need extra rooms so they cancelled my entire reservation. When I asked why they didn't call me to tell me this they said I "should have been sent an email." If that's all the consideration they give someone who has a $4000 reservation, then I guess I'm glad I'm not staying there. Don't bother with the Howard Johnson Express! The Days Inn Downtown Rome was more than kind and accommodating - even gave me a huge discount when I explained the situation! If you do stay at the HoJo, check your reservation and check it often - a reservation doesn't mean you have rooms there, apparently.
