The wife & I are spending 2 weeks in Rome next month (Nov 5 - Nov. 19). I've just got a sudden small windfall that should allow a couple of nights down to Napoli to see Pompei. I'm thinking of leaving Rome around 9-10 AM, with the fast train getting us into Napoli Centrale before noon. I'd like to find a hotel somewhere near the station that will let us explore for the afternoon & evening, hop the local the next morning to Pompei, return that night to Naples, & head back to Rome on the fast train the next afternoon. That would give us an afternoon in Naples, a full day for Pompei, & then a another night & morning in Naples before the train back to Rome.
Any recommendations for a good hotel that's convenient to the station & also a good jump-off for a walking taste of Napoli? I can swing about $100 /night (or maybe a bit more).
