We are going to Italy for the first time and
have no clue ... we have booked this hotel for 2 days

we would like to extend our reservations.

I know nothing about the hotel. I just wanted to comment on its
location. It's north of the Villa Borghese, very far from almost
everything a tourist wants to do and see. The hotel itself may be
fine, but to me a hotel's location is more important than almost
anything.
I would urge you to cancel your reservation and switch to a hotel
more centrally located. There are many to choose from, in all
price ranges.

I do recommend the Borghese museum (call in advance for reservations).

Check to see if the hotel has a shuttle. I stayed at the Hilton which wasn't
walking distance from anything, but the hotel's shuttle was a great way to
get around.

As do I. That doesn't change the fact that this hotel is far from
centrally located or convenient.

Each to his own. I disagree strongly. A shuttle, if they have
one, makes it better. It doesn't make it good. You waste time
taking the shuttle, you waste time waiting for the shuttle, and
are likely to find that, rather then go out for a walk in
downtown Rome (say, in the evening) you say, "oh it's too much
trouble. Let's just stay in."
Next to minimum standards of comfort and cleanliness, to me the
single most important characteristic a hotel can have is a
central location.

wise words -- especially the part about 'staying put' because you are
tired and transport is too demanding.
the most important thing about a hotel in a city like Rome or Paris is
location --- if we had been in the 16th instead of the 4th in Paris --
instead of that evening stroll around Notre Dame, I am sure we would
have stayed put in our apartment -- if we had been out in the boons of
Rome, then we wouldn't have had that evening stroll in Piazza Navona
travel is enervating -- adding commuting time and complications like
waiting for shuttles [which are notoriously unreliable] or taking late
evening subway rides -- exerts an enormous tax on most travelers and
reduces what they can get out of their experience
