A quiet and friendly atmosphere emanates throughout the Hotel Roma Golden Glades Resort, a Tuscan-inspired value resort spread over four acres of well-kept land. A large column-supported portico interspersed with Roman statues marks the entrance of this salmon-hotel hotel, and leads to a lobby with floor-to-ceiling windows. The lobby features reddish tile floors, big green leather sofas, fake potted plants, and wooden tables along with a green-and-white tile front desk. The hotel attracts leisure travelers on a budget, and while it does have conference facilities, it's not the snazziest place to hold an annual meeting. 

The Hotel Roma Golden Glades Resort is right off the Palmetto Expressway (826), in an unpleasantly barren area. Although there's little within walking distance beyond an independent minimart, the Roma is less than a 10-minute drive from the Mall at 163rd Street, Sun Life Stadium, and Calder Casio and Race Course. The Interstate 95 is also less than 10 minutes from the hotel, while Oleta River State Park, American Airlines Arena, and Gulfstream Park Racing and Casino are about a 15-minute drive. Miami International Airport is also 15 minutes from the hotel, and the Bal Harbour Shops and Port of Miami take around 20 minutes to reach. 

The Hotel Roma offers clean but dated and dimly lit rooms and suites with multi-colored comforters, dark-green carpeting, and worn wooden furniture that give the spaces the look and feel of a 1980s value motel. Colorful framed art pieces hang on the walls and there are big wooden armoires housing tube-style TVs with HBO. Rooms come with air-conditioning and mini-fridges come standard in most room types (available on request in Standard Rooms). Suites feature large whirlpool tubs in the living areas and have mini-fridges, microwaves, and sofa beds. There are also terraces with seating and some have pool views. Plain bathrooms are covered in reddish tile and white countertops with shower/tub combos, unappealing yellow shower curtains, and textured walls. Past guests have complained that the bathrooms lack an adequate number of towels. 

The major highlight of the hotel is its big outdoor pool, which is surrounded by a nice brick deck and Tuscan-style statues. Palm trees and small grassy areas add some greenery, and there is a small amount of seating available. Car rentals can be arranged on-site, and the hotel offers faxing and photocopying services. All guests must pay a mandatory daily resort fee, which includes pool access, Wi-Fi, and parking.
