The room was not far from a popular strip. There was view of the water and it was so close you could literally reach out in touch it if you wanted. It was small and the bed was creaky. The pictures are a little deceiving. The bedding was cheetah print, but it was all around fine. Having air conditioning was so nice. Especially in that hot hot hot Venice weather. The was one MAJOR problem, and it was that it didn't have wifi. For people who only have a limited amount of data this was a huge problem. If you do not need wifi though, this is a good place to stay.
