The Cotel has been a hostel for young travelers, many from Australia and Europe, since 1984. Its 35 private and shared rooms vary in price from $50-$80. Previously known as the St. Charles Hotel, the building is 100 years old. The Venice Cantina Restaurant opened in January of 2005 and is located downstairs from the Cotel; the neon sign from the old St. Marks club came down in 2005. Photograph dated July 29, 2003.
