Hotel in Venice

Were arriving in Venice from a cruise on May 21. We only need one night hotel as well be taking the train out in the morning. Rick doesnt like the hotels near the train station, so im wondering what your experience has been or if you can offer suggestions. We are more 2* travelers, so nothing fancy. Thanks!

Rick doesn't like the hotels near the train station,

Probably because most people will be touring IN Venice.

For your purposes of just a place to sleep, the advice may not apply.

Where does the cruise ship actually dock? Very few, only small ones, can actually dock in Venice.

hey hey Dawn
where in "venice" does your cruise arrive at? (ravenna, chioggia, marghera, trieste) what time is flight out and which airport are you flying out of? many flights out of venice is "dark thirty" very early morning.
check-in to hotels is 2-4pm and check-out is 10-11am. we stayed at hotel carlton capri, down alleyway from grand canal. was good for us for an overnight trip from florence, across bridge from train station. most hotels allow storage hold till check in
albergo marin is across the way
they are both close to train station since your time is so short there. we also stayed down in canareggio with many small mom & pop/family owned hotels, close to station knowing we need to pull/push luggage, many restaurants around.
i don't always agree with rick steves, we enjoyed staying nearby.
more info needed, budget in euros, stars mean different amenities not if fancy or not, times for flight out, where ship arriving will help us help you.
