A cab from the airport will be 45 minutes to an hour, and costs 40EU (I believe - its a set rate, it may have been raised recently). Or if you stay at the FCO Hilton, they have a free shuttle.
Rome is a big city w/lots of hotel options, but staying near Termini would be like going to NYC and staying near the Port Authority, it isn't terrible but there are lots of other more interesting areas to stay. There are lots of threads in this forum re: Rome hotel suggestions.
