Is Comfort Hotel Diana in Venice leaving Choice?
Is Comfort Hotel Diana in Venice leaving Choice Hotels? They don't seem to be taking any reservations after the end of March! I was hoping to grab a couple of nights in June with points when the booking window opens.

This is a great hotel. They have a nice breakfast and unbeatable location just a short walk from the back end of St. Mark's.
ADDENDUM: I searched on booking dot com and found rooms in late April; these rooms also showed up on the Choice Hotels site. But there seems to be nothing after May 1. Perhaps they just aren't putting the rooms out there more than a few months in advance.

I' m looking to stay here in May. Hopefully they will stay in the program as it is a steal at 10,000 points. I did notice that the hotel is closed for the season until Feb 28, perhaps that has something to do with the lack of dates past April 30.

Dates are now available in May but I couldn't find any availability in June or July. I was able to book the first weekend in May with my 75 day booking window. Points are a great value at this property, the paid rate was €320 a night!

Just booked 4 nights in April (it was cheaper - the rate was 200 euros/night!).
All this time (since I read the starter to this thread) I had assumed that Venice was gone. Gotta love FT!

I had a res missing, so I emailed Choice and they emailed me back saying everything was OK, just a problem with the website.
I love the deals (especially in Europe), but they really ought to overhaul their IT staff.

I got my confirmation email within a day of booking. I print out the page from the website, because it looks better than the one in the email, but either should work.

I booked it for early July about 2 weeks ago (Platinum 75 day window). I think I checked again a week later and availability was gone.
[edit] checked closed to 75 days from now and indeed no availability at all.

I'm glad I got the award stay in last month (they told me it was fabulous). This is getting to be a habit - first the Etiole Saint Honore in Paris and now the Diana.
