We were so happy with our stay here. I don’t agree with the bad reviews at all. We are Hilton Diamond members and stay often at hotels. This one was clean, spacious and the service was great. Our room was excellent, very clean and had every amenity we needed. The breakfast buffet was large and delicious, with a variety of European and North American style food and nice coffee machines as well.
It is on the mainland, that is true. But we didn’t have the hassle of trying g to locate a small hotel in an obscure location while managing our luggage through Venice island. Instead we paid €2 for a bus ticket (sold at front desk) and caught the bus directly outside the hotel for a one stop ride to the terminal at Venice. So easy and quick. You get the best of both worlds-a spacious hotel with full restaurant and spa facilities and 10 mins away from all that Venice offers. Highly recommend. Pictures are accurate.

I booked this hotel for my daughter to stay there . She said the staff was super mean when they saw she had a friend who was there at the same time and the front desk immediately jumped to the conclusion that the friend was staying there and threatened her that they could all get kicked out if they find out more than 2 people would stay in the room as the room capacity is only 2. That is just so uncalled for . This was my daughter’s first trip to Venice and this really ruined her experience. What a shame some people have to use threat to stress hotel policy.

Good things: Nice clean new hotel. Big convenient rooms. Nice dark curtains so you can sleep late. Very convenient to Venice and to airport. Taxi to airport$30 (front desk will call it for you). When the hotels’ shuttle works, it’s $20 per room. But it didn't work when we were there. Bus to Venice stops right in front. 5-7 min ride, next stop. $1.50 and you can pay by phone right on the bus. You can pay by phone anywhere and everywhere in Italy, including street markets! 

Bad things:
The spa is weak and you need to pay extra for it. Not worth it. Pool outside is cold and not heated, so for Americans - useless. Breakfast not free, not even coffee. But they do have coffee and 'fake' milk in room.
