Andrey

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was very clean. The staff and service were very pleasant, always ready to help if anything was needed. Thank you! One minus — the reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is because the air conditioner blows directly towards the bed. If you want to leave it on overnight, even at the lowest setting, you’ll get cold air blowing on you, which can lead to getting sick or feeling cold.
