Good location close to termini, ok breakfast nothing special, ok bed, clean. AC worked even in April, but did not seem that you could control it as temperature never changed.
On the down side, I cannot imagine why anyone would want to stay in their junior suite as we did. The bed is upstairs and that is also where the TV is. Downstairs is very strangely set up. A single uncomfortable chair with an glass table, desk/chair and no TV. That is also where the bathroom is. So you cannot comfortably watch TV downstairs as there is not one. You cannot even have two people sit comfortably in this junior suite . If you have to get up to use the restroom in the night you have to walk down steep and dark creaky stairs to do so. Very little place to store clothes so I guess they want you to keep them in your suitcase. No place to store them upstairs. All in all, I wish we hard never reserved a suite . It was the worst set up I have ever seen in a hotel. Also the gym is very outdated. Equipment out of service, old weight machine that could barely be moved, no TV remote and no internet capability down in the basement. Have to make reservations to get the sauna or steam turned on. Gym does not open til 7 which makes it completely impractical to use before work.
I typically stay next door at the Star Hotels Metropole and their suites are much more usable. And their breakfast is a step above the Best Western as well. I would likely not stay here again when I return to Rome.
