Once in a while you should splurge. We stayed here a couple nights while
wandering around italy a couple years ago. In the restaurant our desert was
prepared tableside which was pretty cool. We were a walk in and got the
room for about $400 a night since they weren't full. There is about 6
similarly or higher priced etablishments within walking distance of each
other and all seemed to be busy. Even the grand which wasn't coming off
their $1000 a night for a walk in even though they were not full either.

$120-150 / night range. And close enough to mooring sites. 21' boat.

Rooms are a bit more than double your budget..........but wowzers.
The restaurant at this hotel is also *outta sight* (and I'm not merely
referring to price..) :-)

I saw that in an internet search. Along with not leasing cars, I mostly
avoid the $500 a night hotel, I have to pay for.
