Venice V Hotel

Right by the beach and well maintained but it has still old building smell specially in the lobby. No bar and restaurant in the hotel but bunch of restaurants right in front of the hotel.

After spending two nights in a room we didn’t book, we were finally moved to an ocean view as promised. On top of that, they charge over $50 per day just to park in their own lot, which felt excessive. As a smoker staying in the penthouse, I assumed I could smoke outside on the rooftop. (Using a cup as an ashtray & not littering) Halfway through my stay, I received a text threatening a $400 fine for smoking, stating it’s not allowed in rooms or on the rooftop. When I spoke to a staff member about it, he admitted there were no signs posted stating this rule. Since I couldn’t smoke upstairs in a safe outdoor space, I went outside at night to have a cigarette near the front entrance. A front desk employee named Maya came out and rudely told me I couldn’t smoke there either and that I (a young woman) had to cross the street alone, at night, just to smoke. I’ve never dealt with so many issues at a hotel before, nor have I been spoken to so rudely by staff. The only highlight of my stay was NICK who was the only respectful and kind employee I encountered (besides housekeeping) Honestly, he’s the reason we didn’t check out early. Unfortunately, I will not be returning or recommending this hotel to anyone.
