"You Get What You Pay For"

We got off the Vaporetto at the Accademia stop and after a quick left it was pretty simple to find the hotel for check-in. After checking in, we learned that our hotel was actually across the street and acted as a separate entity of the hotel we checked-in at (almost like a sister hotel). When our group went outside, none of us could spot our hotel entrance. The doorman told us it was "right across the street" but we certainly didn't see anything. After decoding the Venetian house numbering system we stumbled upon a small, solid wood door. This was the entrance to our hotel, of course. Going into the trip we knew we booked a budget hotel to keep the price low, but this was really "getting EXACTLY what you paid for."

Our rooms were up a tiny hallway and into a short corridor. We had one king size bed and a set of bunk beds that looked like they hadn't been touched since the 1970's. I could already tell that the three of us girls would be doing our best to squeeze into the bed and avoid the bunk bed dilemma altogether.

We dropped off our bags and quickly made plans to escape. First stop - Piazza San Marco!
