Satisfactory Central Location

excellent locationhelpful staffunappealing arearestaurant operations
The location is excellent, close to main attractions. The staff were helpful, assisting with directions and requests.
The room faced the back alley. This area was not particularly appealing. I noticed trash and some noise from nearby restaurant operations.

The location was a short walk from Piazza St Marco. There were lovely restaurants nearby and plenty of options for gelato. Our room included cool lighting and USB sockets. Very handy. The power shower was awesome.
The room and the toilet were really small though. A bit grubby.
