Stayed on this hotel last May 1st , 2012 Be AWARE: On Italy, you have to pay tax for each night you spend there if you are not resident, in Venice you pay 2 euros per night per person. I spend some days in different cities on Italy , Milan, Florence, Rome, and I guess this was the less recommendable hotel. I had this hotel as part of a Mapaplus tour, I don’t know if this makes any difference on the room amenities, but following you can find my observations: The Hotel is not foot walk to Venice at all! And no stores around, only a gas station, in fact it is close to the highway, and if you want a map of the city you can get it for .2 euros. Transportation to Venice: • You can use the hotel shuttle which takes you from – to the hotel on different schedules, the price is 8 euros per person round trip • You can take the bus, for this option you should walk around 5 blocks to find the “main street” and then get the bus, you buy the ticket for it in any “Tabachin” store , the price is 2 euros round trip Room : The room was clean, kind of larger space from the average on Europe , however consider the following: • No Frigobar • No coffeemaker • No Watter (I guess any of the hotels on Italy offer free water) • No Free WIFI (3 euros for 15 minutes) Restaurant: As any on Europe only opened from 7-10 a.m and later 19-23 pm • The breakfast included was hot buffet, the usual scrambled eggs, cereal, ham, beacon , coffee , juice • The breakfast was not bad Staff • Staff was very nice • The elevators are terrible small!! (only 2 people with luggage) and they fail frequently, it might look without importance on paper but when you see a large group of people trying to catch the elevator to get their room, it turns a very inconvenient situation

This was a reasonable alternative to staying within the Venice city limits that my wife found on-line. The daily cost including a 'continental' breakfast was ~81€ which compares to over 130€ for other on-line booking in Venice. The room was nice, had a private restroom and shower and was comfortable for a few days visit. It was not a suite meant to live out of for weeks. Available on-site parking was a plus as we had a rental car. To get to Venice in the morning (before 9AM) by public transportation you can take a 5E or 6E express bus (5-10 minute walk) to the Venice terminal. Return transportation is by the tram (only one to choose from) to the Centro transfer point where you again grab a 5E or 6E bus. Advice: If you plan to plan to take more than one Venician water-bus ride and the bus to get to Venice, then buy the 20€ daily combo pass. Cheaper per day if you buy all at once. I.e., buy a two-day combo pass for 30€. They AGRESSIVELY check for a valid and validated public transportation ticket on the tram.

We just needed a room for the night before flying back from Venice to the US. The facility was was very modern, neat, and clean. The staff was friendly, courteous, and efficient. The bar and restaurant provided very nice meals with a great lunch and dinner. The morning breakfast area was also good. (The Lasagna Bolognese was divine!) Our room was spacious with an excellent heating/cooling system. If you are a Marriott member you get free WiFi. Large flat screen TV with multi-language channels. And a very nice work desk and chair. The bed was a king sized comfortable sleep center. In short, the Courtyard Inn at the Venice Airport was the perfect spot to rest up after a great European trip and recharge for a 10 hour flight home!
