There have been no hotels in the city that were willing to bid on the number of rooms we need with each summer's increase in Rome flying. Summer is the high season for tourists in Rome. The rooms have to be split for that reason in the summer. Going out of the city was the only option to have all crews in one hotel. It was decided its better to split the crews.
One of the hotels has a 30 Euro charge for a spouse if I recall. The Londra does not have a charge and gives free internet and breakfast but is not in as good a location however its only a 10 minute walk to the other hotel.
