This is a very well-located hotel if you want to stay in the "core" of Venice. Easy access from the Rialto waterbus station, and minutes' walk to anywhere. The room was clean, the shower was good, and the AC was working fine. It does need a little love in terms of maintenance, but nothing too grave to sour our stay. The breakfast is fair, but do not expect an "Italian experience" as it is more of a true American-style buffet (bacon, scrambled eggs, etc). Overall, a good place to stay.
