Anyone stayed in these hotels in Italy?

The following hotels are used by Tauck for the tour we are taking--if any of you have stayed in any of them, please comment on your
experience:

Hotel Parco dei Principi (Rome)

Hotel Brunelleschi (Florence)

Venice Lido Resort (Westin) (Venice)

Would appreciate knowing how you liked them.

The first 2 are very nice--Tauck does well. However, I prefer not to be on the Lido in Venice--it is a seperate island.

The Parco d. Principi is located not too far from the Borghese Gallery in the (more or less) Parioli district which is basically a residential neighborhood. You can walk to the zoo or to the top of the Via Veneto easily from that location.

This is the same hotel which had the famous fire a couple of years ago.

I am surprised Tauck would put you way out on the Lido. Its nice but it isn't a real Venice experience.
