NH Venezia Santa Lucia is by the station, and NH's own map gives a number most hotels don't. It lists "Venezia Terminal Passeggeri" 0.86 km away — our walking route to the Marittima check-in is longer, about 0.9 miles, roughly 19 minutes.
The gap is the Grand Canal: you cross at Piazzale Roma, 0.54 km off by NH's count. It's 100 rooms, air-conditioned, with free Wi-Fi.
NH's pages say nothing about breakfast, check-in times or a restaurant. NH also showed no availability for the dates we searched, so book early.
