Balestri Valda

I purchased a Canal view room we were on the fourth floor and you could not see the water at all because the window sills are 2 foot deep. There was construction going on just across the canal only 25 feet from our room and they got deliveries in the morning from a barge or a boat. It was completely annoying from 6 AM on and there is a crossing in the canal so every boat that goes by has to blow its horn before it turns because it's a blind corner. Definitely not a palace. The location is good, but I would tell everyone to beware! It would be a great bargain at $200 per night. The bathroom has no shower curtain or shower door if you are over 5 foot tall, the water splashes out on the floor so bad you have to mop it up with a towel. Poorly designed room with a step down that was dangerous in the middle of the night going to the restroom.

If you want understated luxury this is the hotel for you.
