The proximity to Rome Termini was great. We were a short walk away, and there were some cute cafes and restaurants to grab breakfast and a good cup of coffee. Check in was very easy despite us showing up an hour before schedule. From there we were easily able to walk to the spanish steps, the colosseum, etc. If I have a tip for anyone visiting rome (or even florence) is to get out early... at about 7 am to see everything you want to before it gets flooded with tourists. Then, take that siesta, and get out again to see the night lift. Also, if you do end up staying indoors long, the air conditioner is great, place is clean, and the bed is comfortable. It's like a soft loft.
