Please beware if you book a room at the top, I believe we had a superior room, heat rises and although it was rainy and dreary it was HOT UP THERE! Apparently during the month of May, they do not run the AC at all. When we were in the lobby it was COLD. However our room was uncomfortably warm and the only thing was to open windows and have a fan! I wish we were told this.
We were not recognized as Expedia VIP members, no perks.
Communication regarding getting there via water taxi was great, and although it’s very pricey- $70 it’s definitely worth it! We used a porter for $40 and it was such a long trek (this bares no relevance to the eating- just giving info).
I wanted to stay on the canal but had no view, no possible upgrade, so a little disappointed. It’s very dated, but I definitely expected that. Water runs hit which was good to a fault lol
A little further back but I do feel like I got a true Venetian experience here! And paid for it.
