Abu Taleb was there when we arrived to receive us. The place was ok. A bit smelly but once we removed the air freshener scent jar from the room the smell went away for the most part.

The neighborhood is semi residential semi commercial. But that is fine, since there are some more high end hotels in the same neighborhood that would charge two, three, or four times what Abu Taleb is charging. And all those hotels are minutes away and within walking distance.

The place is a small gimmick of a motel and is ok for one or two night stands. It is very convenient. Close to train station and supermarkets. You can get to Venice by bus or train in less than 30 minutes. Buses and trains are available all day long.

We were also able to walk to Mestre's downtown or city center one night and enjoyed the ambiance and fine restaurants there.
