Excellent Roman Getaway

room upgradebirthday cakeexcellent service
It WAS my mother's birthday. The staff surprised us with a room upgrade and a lovely birthday cake! She enjoyed the really good service and the care we received. Lamyaa at the front desk checked us in and out. She always was kind, helpful, and had a warm smile. Elisabetta and Gianluca in the restaurant also provided excellent service.
The hotel design, though trendy, was like an attempt to be unique, but it was not particularly original.
