We are going to Rome in Sept. and want to stay in a budget (but not cheesey) B & B or Hotel near the collisuim. Everything that looks "OK" is around 90 euros per night for double. Should I be looking for cheaper or is this pretty average?

You ask for the average: If anything, the €90 you mention is lower than the average; that statement is based on Rick's classification of Rome hotels in his 2007 book, where he classifies Rome hotels as: lower priced: most rooms €120 or less moderately priced: most rooms between €120 and €180 higher priced: most rooms €180 or more.People may give you tips on lower-priced ones, but remember that in the big city, with a few rare exceptions: You don't get what you don't pay for.

Thanks Kent, I had a feeling from what I was seeing, that was the deal. Have you stayed anywhere around the collisium?

No, I follow Rick's advice and stay on the Via Firenze, about a mile north of the Coliseum.
