Any suggestions for cheapest rooms in Venice? I am very low key, don't need anything but a bed...

Paul...it's listed in the RS guide...the Albergo Doni is right off the Grand Canal and less than 3 blocks from St Marks Square...a single without bath is less than 70 Euro's. You can't find a better hotel at this price in this location (breakfast leaves a little to be desired, but there are plenty of good cafes nearby). Go to trip advisor for info and recent reviews.

Google the Hotel Santa Lucia as an alternative. Very clean and inexpensive.

Paul, if you wnat to stay economically, leave Venice on the train and go to Mestre or Vicenza to sleep, which are much cheaper than anywhere IN Venice.

Hotel Messner near the Salute Vaporetto stops is incredibly affordable for Venice Island.

I would recommend staying in Venice and not on the mainland. You will miss too much by commuting. The best times in Venice are early morning and late evening, before and after the day tourists.
