We were in the area recently for a conference, & this was a great location to stay at for a couple of nights. The hotel is older & you can see that in the rooms--furnishings, kitchenette is outdated, etc. Still, the room was spacious, clean, & cozy. No breakfast is included in the price, but there are plenty of options for dining & shopping just a quick gondola ride away.
Now, for the con--the girl at the counter seemed to me to be a bit pretentious. We went in to check if our room was ready a bit early--we had a small infant with us & we wanted her to take a nap prior to the rest of our day. The girl just told us it wasn't check-in time as if we weren't already fully aware of that fact. It seemed like she was doing us a favor to be allowed in the lobby a full 45 min. before check-in. She "warmed up" when we returned--I suppose she finally found something gratifying as she surfed the web. Still this was a big turn-off as a first impression.
Make sure to ask if your room is facing the pool! Since there is no AC in the rooms, we had to leave the window door open in the evenings. Some pool visitors overstayed their welcome, but I'm glad the manager went to ask them nicely to go back to their rooms.

If you're an early-sleeper though this may be something you'll want to avoid.
Overall, this was a great location for several fun activities for families. We would stay again!More
