Venice East-Quarto D'Altino Crowne Plaza Hotel

Has anyone used this hotel? They advertise free transportation from the airport plus a train station one minute away. It is certainly not convenient to Venice since it is about 30 minutes away by train.

It seems like a shame, to me, to spend so much money to go all the way to Venice only to stay somewhere else. It's kind of like staying in Secaucus when you've gone to New York. Yes, it's cheaper and yes, it's only a half hour away by train, but it's a very different experience.

I agree--and other than the possibility of spending the night before an early flight at the airport Marriott, the last thing I want to do in Europe is stay at a large American chain hotel.

 

Venice has so much charm that it would be a shame to not enjoy it fully after having traveled all that way.
