Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae

8/10 Good
"Location was great. Disappointed in the thermal baths…they were barely lukewarm. Was hoping for more of a hot springs experience. Seems the Roman Termae don’t heat the pools like I am accustomed to. So not their fault. Room was nice and the showers were hot! The view from our room was stunning. Breakfast was nice too."
