Travel Agent

So my mom's friend is a travel agent and has some advice for us, and may even be willing to plan this. There's no addition cost, as she takes her commissions from the hotels, etc.

So far she suggests:

I am a big fan of Best Western Hotels. They are really all independently owned but can be booked under the best Western booking engine. These hotles usually just require a credit card as a guarantee with a reasonable cancellation period.

These are a few :

Best Western hotels in Venice such as:

Best Western Ala

Best Western Albergo San Marco

Best Western Olimpia

Go to www.bestwestern.com and check these out. Don't know what the rates are. The lesser expensive hotels are located near the railroad station in the Mestre area and it is much cheaper here but much further away from the heart of Venice.


Basically, she knows Europe well, at the least, those who want, she can help us with some advice. She also recommended Fodor's travel books...
