The Cheapskate's Guide to Rome and Venice: Hotels, Food, Shopping, Museums, and More

Summary: Heavy on Rome, Light on Venice
Review: Having purchased the book to help plan my tour of Venice, I was rather disheartened to find that Venice is covered in a mere 40 pages. The text of those 40 is, however, quite informative. Of the eight Venetian hotels listed in the Cheapskate's Guide, only 2 offer a night of double room occupancy for less than $200 US dollars. Perhaps a guide for cheapskates in Venice should mention campgrounds ($25 a night) rather than the Hotel Gritti Palace (as high as $572) or the Cipriani (as high as $734).
