I've never stayed, however I know the area, and it's not really close to the center of town (but they do have a shuttle, and the area is not dangerous, or anything like that, just not very interesting).
Firenze is a tough hotel market, as bad as or worse than many cities in Italy. You can find very nice hotels there, but you'll have to pay through the nose.
