great location clean room narrow stairs weak a c
The location was great it was a quick walk to St Mark's Square. The room was clean and large enough to move around in. I would stay here again.
The stairs were narrow without an elevator that was not easy. The air conditioning was weak, so the nights were quite nervous.
