Hotel location is awesome, close to St Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), Rialto Bridge, Water Taxi, many dining options. Hotel has an elevator. Free breakfast every morning was provided at sister hotel across the street. Room was warm, A/C did not seem to work, couldn't even find a vent in the room. We asked for a fan from the front desk clerk across the street at the sister hotel, and were told none were available. We opened the window in the evening when we returned to our hotel room after dinner to allow cool air to get into room, which provided some relief. However, once darkness set in the mosquitos would come thru the window so we would close them for the night. Be aware if you book this hotel during the first Sunday in September you will have zero transportation available to you as Venice holds its annual Regata Storica, and shuts down the entire waterways, gondolas, water taxis in the city. The hotel, train stations, do not make you aware of this fact when you check in/arrive, so you could possibly get stranded in Venice for the day, or not be able to tour many landmarks that require transportation.
