Considering the Doge Hotel Venice in Venice?

tourist traffic by GrZA
Try to avoid the obvious, August. So hot. So many people. At times I would find myself navigating the narrow streets (incredible) with 5 to 7 other tourists behind, as I happened to have a map. Quite funny when you hit a dead end.
It gets to be ridiculous, so avoid high tourism season here if at all possible.
