Poking around for hotels today! In Germany I know where in Frankfurt and Berlin I want to stay. In Rome and Venice...not really. Rome and Venice also have a very different hotel selection. Both have a lot of  “authentically styled” places, which run the gamut in price. Some are genuinely authentic and pretty cool. Some seem...cheap and not as inviting. Venice is proving the most difficult because the city seems the weirdest to navigate AND has so many concentrated tourists.
