it there a marriot in florence? i think the only one near venice is at the airport and maybe the same thing is true of florence.. i presume you are staying on points. if not, or if you can afford, stay in venice and florence. the airport ihotels are just like the airport hotel in peoria. also in rome, if you are at the flora, fine. if you are at one of the hotels on the park, you should consider finding a place in the city.
