Travel to Rome from Genoa
Ok folks...this train thing is like a puzzle if you are from an area that has little train travel available. So bare with me if my questions seem REALLY dumb to you. I am going to be traveling from Genoa to Rome in October. I looked on the Rail Italia site and it gives dates and prices but the seating selections are confusing to be. It gives Normal. Economy, and Super Economy. If I do the Super economy will I be traveling on the roof of the train and holding my luggage?? LOL. We will have a big bag and a carry_on each (my wife and I) so I will need some space. Ok all you travel wizards...help me with my puzzle. The grand prize winner will get me to a station in Rome close to Inn Rome which is on Via Gioia Tauro, Ciampino. Am I asking too much??

If it is this Inn Rome it is not even in Central Rome:

That is not a very good location to visit Rome from - you will need to transport into Rome everyday!

Its out by Ciampino airport. So you would take a fast train from Genova to Roma Termini and then a regional train to Ciampino.
Book the first leg in advance, Super Economy is just the cheapest non-changeable option. The regional just buy when you get to Termini.

I think there are two places named Inn Rome
Via Gioia Tauro 41, 00118 Ciampino
http://www.innrome.it/
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 251
00186 Roma
http://www.innrome.eu/index.php?pag=dove-siamo
You listed the street for the first one but the second one is near the Vatican.
I don't fully understand the concept of Provinces in Italy, but it looks like the Ciampino one on Via Gioia Tauro is in the Province of Rome but not the City of Rome. Hopefully if my understanding is wrong, someone will correct me.

Inn Rome is on Via Gioia Tauro...and we are not staying here to do the tour thing of Rome..this is our pre tour hotel..We have a 15 day tour where we stay in Central Rome for 4 days...my question, I thought, was pretty straightforward...lol..what train do I get from Genoa and what station do I need to get off at. Will I need a cab to get me to my B&B..we will have luggage.

I am sorry - perhaps you didnt see my pretty straightforward answer above:
Its out by Ciampino airport. So you would take a fast train from Genova to Roma Termini and then a regional train to Ciampino.
Book the first leg in advance, Super Economy is just the cheapest non-changeable option. The regional just buy when you get to Termini.

As far as the 20 minute walk to the Vatican..it does not matter...our tour will get us there when we stay 4 nights in Central Rome....if you want to give me the sights of Ciampino..I'd be happy also. And I do value the input I get. I know you guys are just trying to get me close to things..I SINCERELY thank you all.

Vjpblovesitaly...I had no idea there were 2 locations but again..I do thank you. I am a TOTAL novice at Italy travel. I just happen to be part Italian. My mother and aunt came from some very small village about 90 minutes south of Rome. My wife is part Italian and she has always wanted to go there...so we are on an adventure.

Based on google maps it looks like it is 4.5 km and a 10 mins taxi ride (depending on traffic). Sorry, I dont know what that would cost, but just email the B&B and they should be able to give you an approximate.
