Negative Reviews

Housekeeping standards can be uneven.
Although most reviews praised the hotel for its cleanliness, there are also reports of poor room cleaning prior to check-in. If your room is not clean when you arrive, you can let the front desk know and they will be pleased to assign you a new one.
negative:
Some guests prefer a bigger breakfast.
While the free continental breakfast offered at the Best Western Grand Venice Wedding & Conference Center is certainly adequate for many, there are no cooked dishes. Fortunately, you can find a full breakfast at the adjacent diner, as well as at other area restaurants.
negative:
You can't have an early morning swim.
You should be aware that that the swimming pool isn't open early in the morning when you might want to get some exercise to start your day off.
