Not romantic, or even scenic, but a terrific place to spend the last night in Italy if you're returning a rental car to the airport before flying out the next day.

Hotel was booked for proximity to airport and was a good alternative to staying at Ostia which we have done in the past. Good access to main highway for travel to airport so would stay again for that reason. As long as you have a car to drive to airport this is ideal. Breakfast was also good.

It just depends on what you are looking for. Motel Corsi fit our needs perfectly as a very afforable place, close to the airport (If you are driving), for the four of us (my sister, myself, and our two adult daughters)to stay the night before our trip back to the U.S. That is all we wanted and exactly what we got! We arrived there after dark and were able to find it very easily (I had Googled it prior to our trip). Parking was free and we parked only fifty feet from the front entrance. Ater checking in we went to a wonderful supermarket across the road to do last minute gift shopping and gather wine/deli/bakery items for our dinner to eat in our room. There was a restaurant and a McDonalds close by but we opted to eat in the room while packing and relaxing. Our quad room was clean but, the bedspreads looked old and dirty. We pulled them off the beds immediately. The bathroom was large and clean with the very best shower that we had found in Italy! The FREE breakfast starts at 0600 (for those that are flying out early), and includes the typical sweets, meats, cheeses, juices, that you find on an Italian breakfast buffet. The dining room was large, beautiful, and the buffet table was so georgeous that we took pictures of it! The downside? VERY loud sounds from planes, trains, and automobiles! Just take your sleeping pill and enjoy the very comfortable beds! Oh . . . and there is an elevator! We didn't have to lugg everything up and down three flights of stairs! The trip to the airport was quick and easy.

Motel Corsi was an excellent stay for our last night in Italy before an early morning flight out of FCO. We had a rental car so the drive was fast and easy to the parking garage for the return. The trains stop pretty early (8pm?) so we could not easily get back to the spanish steps from the hotel. But, we were ablt to grab a beer at the bar accross the road and hang out and talk about everything we had seen. The restaurant accross the street was adequate. The food was ok overall, but compared to other places we'd eaten, it was toward the bottom of the list. There was also a gas station in front of the hotel. This was very convenient to top off the rental car. Staff was friendly and helpfull. In short, if you want to stay close to the airport for 1 night at a bargain price, this hotel will work well for you.

The Hotel was charming and the complimentary breakfasts and service was very nice. The big drawback was only that it was far from any special attractions. The da Cora across the street, is a wonderful local family restaurant and it's waiters give you a wonderful feel of the Italian hospitality. About a block away is a Supermarket and a Mc Donald's and that's about it.

Service was very good and breakfest was great. The people working were very pleasent and informative. The location was not great and the room was very noisey due to the fact that the railroad tracks were only 100 yds. away.

The hotel location was fine for the airport and directions were good. The manager on Saturday evening was very helpful in assisting with contacting Hertz rental car company at the airport. It was a lifesaver. The breakfast was very nice and of course the Trattoria across the street was EXCELLENT!! The bedspreads in the room were dirty looking and very tired looking. The bathroom was nice but the room felt dirty because of the bedspreads.

Room was fine but had been contaminated by smokers, staff would or could not do anything about this. Noise of Trains, planes and highway are noticeable inspite of double glazing. Trattoria da Carlo across the road is qood. Handy to airport, about 15 minutes by road, as long as you have a car. Taxis are a rip off, Euros 45 and up to 100+ each way; according to hotel staff this is because they are outside the Rome Metropolitan Taxi range. We arrived on an evening flight and did not wish to drive in the dark. It would have been cheaper to take delivery of our rental car on arrival at the airport and pay an extra days hire.

It was very close to a fun restaurant, had a gas station in front, and was 10 minutes from the airport. For convenience in leaving Italy early in the morning, it was great. We would have liked more time to explore the area and the beaches nearby. The breakfast spread was beautiful! No complaints. We stayed their twice and was pleased with everything both times. We'd stay there again.

A great hotel with great food, service and clean spacious room. It is 18 min drive to the airport and provide free and secured parking. The staffs are very kind and welcoming. However, it is beside the train tracks which is very noisy and annoying especially at night. Try to arrange a room that is not facing the train tracks which may minimize noise

If you want to stay for a nigth before taking your plane this is your hotel. It´s 20 minutes from Fiumicino (by car) and it´s easy to get there (by car). But, if you want to visit Rome... I don´t think staying here is a good option. It´s very far from the city center by public transport and by car. Try to don´t spend too much time in the hotel sorroundings I think it´s the ugliest place i´ve seen in Italy. Anyway the restaurant in front of the hotel is GREAT to have dinner, and the breakfast at the hotel is GREAT too.

Requiring a Hotel near the airport we found Motel Corsi through Venere. The experience more than matched the expectation from the description. Namely the very friendly and helpful staff and the comprehensive breakfast not normally found in Italy.The room was spacious and although old worldy had a very restful feel and a large bathroom.Overall very good value for money. As an added bonus accross the road is an excellent trattoria with a very good fish selection not to mention the wine selection and pizzas. I will certainly stay here again and will recommend Motel corsi to my travelling friends

E' un motel: è in posto tutt'altro che ameno, ma è ben insonorizzato e per una notte di passaggio va più che bene. Camera senza frigo bar. La sala colazioni è piuttosto kitsch (un tripudio di fiori finti). La colazione è abbondante (davvero buono il bacon & eggs), le torte tante ma industriali, le briosches OK.

The Hotel offers the rooms for a better price, if one does the booking directly! My room was very loud from the day and night traffic of the mainstreet. The Hotel was not completly occupied, but I couldn´t get another room. No window can be opened during the night - you will get all the dust of the street into your room.

This was a convient hotel for what we needed. We just needed a place to stay near to the airport after arriving from our long journey, to rest and freshen up before moving on. The location was fine, not much to do around it, which was fine for us. A nice restraunt across street. The rooms were ok...a bit old and outdated, but they were fairly clean.

We had already stayed at this hotel on the first night of our holiday, and although we had had a poor experience we decided to chance it again. Big mistake! The main problem was the noise. As well as the main road to the front and the train line at the back, the air conditioning made a grinding noise whenever it was switched on. So did we swelter or put up with even more noise? We chose the latter. In the event, the noise from the fan, road and train track didn't matter at all as the family from Hell next door drowned out all three - until well after midnight. This family was like a bunch of wild animals. They took up three or four rooms on the same corridor as us and left the doors open so that they could shout from one room to another. Screaming (and I do mean screaming) kids ran up and down the corridor while presumably their mothers and fathers laughed and joked in their respective rooms. After remonstrating with the male members of their party quite forcibly, I was getting absolutely nowhere so I complained to the front desk. His answer was to hold his head in his hands and tell me that they were a family of Iranians who were out of control and that he couldn't do anything. How about throwing them out? I asked. His answer was a shrug and my Italian wasn't good enough to understand his response but it was something along the lines of 'what can I do?' I went back to bed but couldn't sleep at all, even though I had been about 6 hours behind the wheel of a car that day. I decided to sleep on top of the bed nearest to the door, still in my clothes, in case I had to get up in the middle of the night to deal with these idiots. I managed to doze fitfully and the noise died down somewhere after 2am. Needless to say we were not very refreshed for our trip home next day, which was the whole idea of staying at this place. The trattoria across the road was OK, but certainly not worth the hassle we experienced at Motel Corsi. At breakfast, we received an apology for the nois

The directions to this hotel are woeful, especially coming from the airport. It took us well over an hour to find it. Hardly slept at all due to the incessant traffic noise and the trains. The room was very dated and the whole place looked a bit jaded really. We stayed here one night at the start and another at the end of our trip. We thought the first night was bad - wait until you read about the last night! On the plus side the people are pleasant enough and the breakfast is good - but only by Italian standards. Italians don't really do breakfast. We'll look for somewhere else next time we have a stopover near Rome.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel the night before we took our plane back to New York. The hotel was a great location with an excellent tratoria right across the street. The room was fine, clean, and very quiet, considering that it is on a busy thoroughfare. We made a great choice - as a result of reading others' positive comments on the hotel.

The motel is excellent, if you have a car. You can not get to this motel without a private car. We took the train, and the owner of the bar took us to the motel. It would have cost 50 euros to take a taxi the 2 km from the train station to the motel! So, stay here if you have a car. The meal across the street is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Best meal we had in Italy. Get whatever the waiter recommends. But, only stay here if you have a car. It's cheaper to stay in Rome and take the train or taxi to the airport.

The toilet in our room would not flush at all after the first flush. After complaint we were furnished with a pail to fill from the shower and pour in the toilet after each use. The eveniing desk clerk was "unsure" about a price reduction for this and the morning clerk refused to acknowledge we had a problem, only insisting the the toilets work. On a better note, the meal at the place across the street was great. I especially recommend the mussels. All of our party liked the food and casual neighborhood atmosphere.

Excellent value motel - helpful staff, and the breakfasts were wonderful for an Italian hotel, with lots of choice and even scrambled egg with pancetta! Only complaints were thin walls, and we needed to have the window open all night as we couldn't turn the heating down, so the trains sounded very loud. Very easy to find from the airport, and about 15 minutes' drive

We (our family of 5) stayed at Motel Corsi on our last night before heading to the Rome airport. We were warmly welcomed and our two rooms were ready for us. Motel Corsi is on the main road (Via Aurelia) and a train runs behind the property, so it is not a quiet location, but with the windows closed, we were not really bothered by the noise. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The decor of the hotel was a bit outdated, but filled with lots of Italy photos and posters reminding us of our trip. The breakfast was a large, festive buffet of breads, baked goods, fruit juices and cereals but also included scrambled eggs which we hadn't seen for two weeks! The wait staff was very pleasant and cheery and spoke Italian to all of us as if we understood every word. All in all, this was a good choice for our last nigth. It was only 15-20 minutes from the airport and a good value for the money. One note (a tip we had read in an earlier Venere comment) The restauraunt across the street from the hotel is called Trattoria-Pizzeria da Carlo a Torrimpietra, and it was wonderful. It was one of the best meals we had in Italy and we received the warmest welcome here, by far! It is a family run place with a big antipasto selection, seafood dishes and big servings of tiramisu for dessert and delicious noccino! The kitchen staff came out to make sure we were enjoying everything (and to make sure our youngest daughter was eating!) It was a delicious meal and a really fun night - a true taste of Italy.

The rooms were the smelliest and most out of date of any places we have stayed in several trips to Italy. The first room smelled stongly of cigarettes; They offered us another room that had chairs that were so soiled we weren't willing to put our suitcases on them. They had no other rooms available. The taxi from the airport was 60 euros and car back to the airport was 50. We could have stayed at the Gia Vulcana in Rome in a room where we were at the beginning of this trip for less cost overall.
