In case there are other people looking for a hotel deal, I thought I would pass along what I just did.
After looking at the hotel lists today, I decided that the main hotels mentioned in Venice, Best Western Ambassador, Holiday Inn Express, and Fairfield Inn, all looked about equivalent. Therefore, I decided I would take my chances with Priceline.com and the Name Your Own Price feature.
I picked a 2.5 star in Venice and offered $66.00 a night and it was accepted (grand total including taxes/fees of $78.20 a night) and the winning hotel was the Best Western...where the lowest rates I saw online were $110 a night.
No guarantee others will get exactly the same, and you do pay before you know for sure which hotel (which means I am ABSOLUTELY coming :act-up. Anyway, maybe this will help someone else. That was my first bid, so it might be possible to get the same hotel class for even less.
Good call ad! Got the same hotel at $55 a night before taxes. Let's just hope this place is alright. I'll see you there and first drink is on me. Cheers!!!
