Stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed it. The hotel is on the mainland side of Venice and a much better value than staying on the island. The hotel has a shuttle bus service that costs 8 Euros for the round trip to the main bus plaza on the island. The hotel shuttle bus runs every 30 minutes and space is limited and it is best to reserve a spot. The city bus only costs 1.2 Euros but you need to make a 10 minute walk to the bus stop. Also, don't forget to buy your city bus ticket across the street at the mini-mart (tobaconist). The drive across the bridge to the island bus plaza is about 15 minutes.

The hotel maintained the high Holiday Inn standards which means it is clean, comfortable and efficiently run. Nothing fancy but what do you expect for a moderate price chain hotel. The room was large, the bed comfortable, the bathroom well appointed. Franco at the front desk is a hotel veteran who was very helpful and friendly. My only complaint was the cost of the Internet Wi-Fi because they use an over-priced 3rd party provider. In 2012, Wi-Fi should be part of the price of the room. Just imagine what we would have said in 1990 if a hotel wanted to charge extra to watch color TV in your room! Same principle applies today with Wi-Fi - it should be considered a standard (no extra charge) amenity in any 3, 4, or 5 star hotel.

There is an excellent little pizzeria just a 5 to 7 minute walk away. I can't remember the name of the pizzeria but they have a full menu, not just pizza and the prices were very affordable. You go out the back parking lot of the Holiday Inn and turn left and walk down Via della Fonte until it ends (2 blocks) at the Via Cesare Beccaria. Don't cross Via Cesare Beccaria, because the pizza cafe is right there on the corner on your left side.

Stayed here while departing on a Med Cruise. Very nice hotel with friendly staff but if you are looking for a hotel close to the tourist areas you will be disappointed. It is on the mainland but it is the closest of the IC properties. You are still a long way from San Marco square. You can get there by bus relatively inexpensively after a bit of a walk to the bus stop or you can take a cab for 40-45 euros. Either the bus or the cab will take you to Piazzale Roma where you can take a Water taxi or bus to San Marco.
One drawback of the hotel is that you only get 30 min free WiFi and purchasing it is a bit pricey. But overall a very nice stay

We stayed there for 2 nights in September. Overall good hotel. Bed and matress were super comfortable! Bathroom was nice and clean, but showerhead was broken. In-room safe and mini fridge are definitely a plus. Front desk staff was very polite and accommodating. Be aware that this hotel charge for everything - internet, parking, ice. The hotel has big parking lot and could provide parking to it's guest for free, but instead they decide to make money and put this outside kiosk with parking attendant who wasn't very polite. So the 2-nd night we just parked on the street right befind the hotel. Probably would stay there again.
