Perhaps if you would share why nothing in the above thread met your needs, I could be more helpful.
Which canal? There are dozens of canals. The Grand Canal is very busy and can be noisy.
We like the Hotel Ai Mori D'Oriente, and they do have some suites that sleep four.
Have a great trip!

Stayed at Pensione Guerrato while on a Rick Steves tour a couple years ago. Near the market in a quieter area but also not far from the Rialto Bridge so very central. They have some family rooms and offer a nice breakfast.

The more affordable lodgings are in the area near the main train station. Some nice B&Bs there.

You might try staying at a convent/monastery ! most will have a 4 bed room. Check on monasterystays.com, but you can save by booking direct. I stay at Istituto San Guiseppe, located on a canal midway between Rialto and San Marco
