My wife and I HATED this hotel. The property is ocean front (which was the only good thing about the place). However, the hotel itself is very run-down. The hotel is located far away from city-center and Taxi service in the town is not plentiful. Their was a multi-hour wait for dinner service. We had to walk around a quarter mile to the ONLY nearby restaurant, which was a small, mediocre pizza place. If you are planning a cruise out of this port city ... I would suggest: (1) stay in Rome and take a taxi/limo directly to the cruise terminal. (2) find a satisfactory hotel in Civitavecchia City Center ... sadly not many suitable choices. Whatever you do ... I would NOT recommend staying at Mercure Civitavecchia Sunbay Park Hotel.
