Whatever you do, don't stay in Milan, that city is a dump. Go to Venice, or Florience, or Lago dell'Garda or anywhere really, just don't stay in Milan!

Maybe stick to the trains
Gas is also sky rocking in europe

And cheap accommodations in Venice?

Venice and cheap don't go together
But you could call up the hotel and bargain
Make sure u get a room with a toilet (not joking)

I think there's cheap(er) parking in Mestre, that's the mainland city closest to Venice. You park there and take the train to Venice, train fare is 2 Euros IIRC.

IIRC, all the Starwood hotels are a 30 minute walk from the Ghetto.

Yes they're all on the S. Marco Square/Grand Canal area, but 30 minutes is at a very leisurely pace and it's one of the most gorgeous and unique walks you'll ever have.
Avoid the SPG Danieli if you are there for shabbos.

Everything in Venice happens at a leisurely pace

I thought there was an SPG on Lido.

I think that left SPG years ago.

Plats get suites or canal views and free wifi, but with the SPG transfer restrictions these days you may have a hard time finding someone willing to do that for you.
