Big property with excellent accessibility from G.R.A. Three different buildings, difficult to pick the right one on arrival. Big, nice lobby area. Room very basic and small, although rated 'superior'; adequate, however, to spend one night near the airport before departure. Breakfast below standard for a hotel of this level. A courtesy shuttle bus to city center with quite frequent schedule was a nice feature.

We stayed here because of a conference. After spending three nights at a marvelous hotel in Rome, it was very disappointing staying here. It was a long bus ride to Rome. The food and service in the restaurant was horrible and most likely the worst we have EVER experienced in Europe. Breakfast was expensive for what little you got. The air conditioning went out in our room and we had a VERY hot night. We will never return to this hotel even IF there is another conference there.
I recently spent 3 nights at this Sheraton while attending a conference at the hotel. Overall, my impression of the hotel was that it was overpriced and not very adequate in many respects. Here are the pros and cons, from my point of view:
PROS:
1) New construction and the rooms were impeccably clean.
2) Ample breakfast although very expensive if it were not part of the
conference.
CONS:
1) Far from anything that Rome has to offer. They do have a shuttle
bus but it is a lengthy ride to town.
2) Very overpriced....eg. a 300 ml. bottle of water cost 3 euros
while it costs 0.15 euros in a grocery store.
3) The golf course is nothing to write home about....and why would you go to Rome to golf anyway? In the 3 days, we saw zero golfers.
4) Staff is moderately unhelpful which I found was unusual for Rome where generally people are very helpful.
5) Conference facilities are fairly limited. The rooms were somewhat undersized for the meeting.
In summary, I'd recommend looking around for something better if you're planning a stay or conference in Rome.

Not a bad hotel for conferences etc. Nice golf course and pool. A ?25 taxi ride into Rome (but they do have a courtesy bus also). Rooms ok but basic. Room rate ?248, high for the quality of hotel. The details are missing...magnetic keys kept failing; poor paint jobs on hotel room walls; breakfast room tables unstable etc etc. Good conference facilities
