We need a hotel close to the airport where we can drop off our luggage in the morning, tour Rome during the day,and return to the hotel at night before our morning flight the following day.
We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn and it was great.
I usually stay at the Airport Hilton right at the airport.
Not the cheapest, but convenient for early morning flights.

Airport Hilton is basically attached to the terminals
Walk or moving sidewalk
You can drop bags then return to terminal to catch LE to Termini ir form the hotel ir from airport take a taxi to center
I believe the Hilton Garden requires a shuttle to/from
Since you’ve only got the one day I would splurge to make the most of that little time
We just booked Hotel Tiber Rooftop, only a couple miles from FCO with shuttle service.
I'd be sure to check out the shuttle service...does it run on fixed times, or do they drive you at your convenience?
Just in case the shuttle does not work out, taxi is easy and to more than about 15e from airport to town.

Just to clarify- pretty sure ekscrunchy means to the town where Hotel Tiber is- Fiumicino-- not Rome
+1 to Hilton Garden Inn. The shuttle runs on a regular schedule 24 hours.
