We have narrowed it down to these two hotels for our last couple of nights in Rome. Conveniently close to Termini (given our luggage) and walkable to Monti for dinner. 2 adults in mid-October.

Has anyone happened to stay in both and could advise as to which might be better? The rooms at Independent are double the size of Liberty for 50 euro more, and I understand that hotel has a rooftop bar. On the flip side, the Liberty is extremely well reviewed across almost all platforms.

Thank you!

We booked a domestic flight from Catania to Rome on ITA Airways and we did not include our middle names when booking because there was only the First Name and Last Name boxes. Our passports (Canadian) do include our middle names. So this means our tickets do not match our passports.

I read some posts saying ITA is strict about this + charges 25 euros per person to add middle names on to your ticket. I also read conflicting advice saying ITA does not actually care about the middle names, as long as your first/last names are correct.

While I understand 25 euros per person may not be a lot of money in the long run, we would like to save if we can. Has anyone actually ever been denied boarding because your passport has middle names but your booking with ITA does not?

We are eloping in September and I decided to get a dress from Piondress, which seems to have a lot of good reviews and are at a decent price.

If anyone has used them before, was the Adjusted Size option good enough to not have to do subsequent alterations? It is just us and we are hiking for our elopement so I do not need an impeccable fit - just as long as it is good enough for pictures and not crazy long or gaping at the bust.

I understand from reviews that the Custom Size option will not require any alterations at all, which is a great savings (both in terms of time and money) but the Custom Size option is obviously more expensive.

Would love to be able to save some costs where possible but if the Adjusted Size is not that great, I guess we will just have to bite the bullet. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you.
