Has anybody stayed at the G-Rough in Rome? Trying to decide between this Marriott boutique (the location is awesome) and the Westin.

TIA

If you’re referring to the Westin Excelsior it looks great in pictures but is actually kinda old/not all that great on the inside. It is still very nice, just not what the pictures might suggest. I was in a suite. Also the location is OK but not great. I wish I had stayed closer to Trestevere.

Love the Florence st Regis. Ask for a room with river view. Platinum breakfast is an awesome free spread. Daily champagne sabrage in the bar at 6 is a fun way to kick off a night out.

For what it’s worth I like the excelsior Westin - while its not the most modern property, it’s in a grand old stately building and we were given a big suite after we booked a standard room redemption (as a plat).

Just wondering if I leave for holidays, will I not be allowed back. Any sort of clarification you might have is helpful. FYI - I was in US before that June ruling came out. Thx

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
