Hotel Flora.
Get lost in the streets
Either a moroscaffo or whatever or a taxi from piazza da Roma.
Or a bus but it takes age.

Depends on your budget
Get lost in the streets or buy a guide book
Water taxi

Why are you going to Venice if you don't know what to do? Read a few guidebooks, get maps, study the official website of the city. Where to stay depends on how many euross youhave to spend per night, among a number of other things.

Thanks much, everyone!
Prefer a bit more modern hotels
Dont mind spending USD $200 a nite for central location etc
Heard best to catch varopetto fr Venice to Airport
(We R fine w that as still fairly healthy)
Booked an Opera in the palace one nite already

Would appreciate any/all suggestions
Much Aloha

Venice and Modern do not go together.

<Why are you going to Venice if you don't know what to do? >

Why are you posting if you have no advice to give?

Oh, wait, sorry, you DO have advice:

<Where to stay depends on how many euross youhave to spend per night, among a number of other things.>

Thanks for elucidating that, we had no idea!!

And your post is so helpful to OP NewbE.

Dear All,
Realized Venice hotels tend to be traditional in decor, just hoping for less ornate n more classically clean feel..
Perhaps staying a bit out of the city center would yield more value in hotels/choices..thank you

Dear PalenQ,
The 3 days in Venice trip report was most helpful which promoted me to book the evening opera in the palace..thanks

The 2day varopetto pass for 40€ (Perhaps higher now)
seems like a good idea!
Very early flight so the varopetto might not wrk for trip to airport-
Wonder if other suggestions..Aloha��
