AC Hotel Venezia is the plain, modern option a few steps off Piazzale Roma. Marriott lists "Cruise Terminal (Marittima): 10 minutes" and Piazzale Roma 3 — our walking route to the check-in is about 0.6 miles, roughly 12 minutes.
Marriott is blunt about what's missing — "This hotel does not provide shuttle service", and breakfast isn't included.
It's a Marriott with elevators, roll-in showers and 79 rooms, which in Venice is worth something. Drivers get pointed to Garage San Marco, 0.1 km away, with no price.
Book it for points and a lift, then walk or ride the People Mover to the ship, not a taxi.
