Rome if you don
Rome let me start by telling its a great place to visit. I don't think you can see all there is to see in only one day. You need to spend some time there and visit all of the sites. I stayed in Rome next to Vatican City. I used the Rick Steves travel book hotel section and found a hotel that I could drive to.
HOTELS For Rome
Hotel Spring House (3 star)
OK here are 2 hotels that are very easy to drive to if you want to take your rental car into Rome.I found these in the Rick Steves book I have listed on the Italy page. I have the map listed. Both hotels are just 1 block from Vatican wall (north side) I stayed in the Hotel Spring House. Located on Via Mocencigo 7 (please note on my map, the top of the map is north. Bottom is south.) Its a street that runs north and south. If you look at the top of the Vatican wall that is the north side. Cost with breakfast was about 75 dollars a day. To park the car it cost 12 dollars a day.

Great place they speak english. Close to metro, rooms are good, beds sleep good and its quiet.
Hotel Alimandi (3 star)
This hotel is located on Via Tunisi 8. The street is just east of Mocenigo, this street runs north and south on the north wall of the Vatica. But note if you stay there its on the corner of Via S. Veniero and Via Tunisi. Just a short walk to the Vatican museum from here. Parking garage they have to leave your car. Prices are about 75 dollars with breakfast. Parking for your car is about 15. A good hotel, for the price.
