The hotels Rome has to offer range from fairly cheap to way to expensive so you can find what suits you best. The sights are worth the say though. When you tour the Coliseum and remember the world history lessons your mind will take you back to ancient Rome when gladiatorial games were held there. The personal combat of slaves that fought to the death to please the wealthy class. You may even remember early Christians being sacrificed to lions. It is hard to see the Coliseum with out thinking of all the blood shed there. So many sights in Roam will inspire you to remember the history you learned in school.
