Please help! What's the best hotel in Venice for $150 or less?
 

It looks like the Galleria has gotten good reviews on Fodor's but I'd like some other suggestions. Please help!

Excerpted from a previous posting:<BR><BR>Message: Best rating by the most respondents on Fodors Rants'n'Raves:<BR><BR>ACCADEMIA VILLA MARAVEGE<BR>Fondamenta Bollani, 1058 Dorsoduro, Venice 30123, Italy <BR>Phone: 041/521-0188 <BR>Fax: 041/523-9152 <BR><BR>A secret garden awaits just beyond an iron gate, complete with a mini Palladian-style villa, flower beds, stone cupids, and verdant trees - all rarities in Venice. Aptly nicknamed "Villa of the Wonders," this patrician retreat once served as the Russian embassy. Conservative rooms are outfitted with Victorian-era antiques and fine tapestry. It's built on a promontory where two side canals converge on the Grand Canal, which is well glimpsed from the garden. Book well in advance. 27 rooms. Bar.

On the website, www.venere.com you'll find a listing of two star hotels that all fall into your price range. Depending upon the time of year you'll be traveling, many of the three star hotels also fall into your budget. I'd suggest Hotel San Mois&egrave; (one of the 3-star options).<BR><BR>

Heather,<BR>We stayed this past summer at the Casa Martini http://www.casamartini.it/<BR>I highly recommend it nice location and excellent accomodations and in your price range

Search and find Locanda Barbarigo--more of a B&B but nice and a great location.

ACCADEMIA VILLA MARAVEGE is awesome!!!!!!<BR><BR>http://www.pensioneaccademia.it/index-e.html
