Hotwire Hotel: 3.5* Rome (South) Sheraton Roma

[7continentKaren]

I tried PRICELINE first but did not want to wait around for a second bid as there was no way to get another in tonight. I bid $75 and they countered with $99 so I figured they were about the same as HOTWIRE. Just went ahead with HOTWIRE. Flying out in a few days. One less thing to think about. Unless I screwed it up, I went to Hotwire from here so you would get credit.

There is, at this time, only one hotel in the Rome (south) area participating in Hotwire. The hotel shows as having a shuttle (in this case to the airport and to town but with a small fee - 3 euros to town and 3 euros back, 5 euros to the airport), fitness center, pool, restaurant, business center. On line, I could have booked with Sheraton for $157 which would have included breakfast. Hopefully, their breakfast is not that expensive or we would have been better off paying and getting Starwood points. The Sheraton Golf Parco, just down the street, was even less but no breakfast and queen beds, not king, like Roma. But their shuttle is free. You can see I gave a lot of thought on this one as the advantages were not as great as usual.

Priceline surprised me with a 3 star and a 4 star choice. I was not expecting that and I was not willing to be the goat on the 3*, esp since Priceline gives you no clues. I think the 4* had to be Sheraton Roma so that was what I bid on.
