Recommendations for hotels in Rome?
My wife and I will be in Rome from May 30-June 3rd and are looking for hotel recommendatinos. I have checked out the Marriott and Starwood properties, and besides the fact that they are sold out, the prices are a bit (ok a lot) beyond our budget 
.
When we travel in Europe we generally just try and find lodging when we arrive in the city by going to the hotel booking service when we arrive in the central train station. However, with this being a Jubilee year (and all the hype/concern of the hordes of tourists such as ourselves to converge on Italy), we are considering booking ahead.
Any recommendations for small hotels, bed & breakfasts, and/or pensions would be greatly appreciated.

they have a list of accomodations that may be helpful at this late date. My personal recommendation is the Casa Tra Noi. While it's a pilgrimage house it really is more like a small hotel. I've stayed there many times for conferences. It has a variety of guests. It's a 10 minute walk from St. Peter's. There is NO curfew. The meals are not fancy, but decent. There is a small grocery store on the street.
I've not stayed at the Domus Pacis in Rome, but the one in Assisi is very nice. Again, more of a hotel atmosphere. You don't have to walk around on tip toes
I hope this helps.

I have stayed in a hotel called Alberti Internationale (something like this, I know the spelling is wrong) Anyway, it's located just next to the Spanish Steps and besides the Intercontinental Hotel. The room is not too fancy, but everything that you may need will be there, especially in the washroom, they use good quality products. When I was there in Feb this year, it was about 340,000 lira. With this location and room facilities , it is definitely a great deal. For those who are miles addicted, the drawback will be you can't earn any miles.
