The place is very clean and գեղեց y well-maintained. However, I believe the price is somewhat high,
Cons:

On April 23rd, at around 5 PM, we were assisted by a staff member who was not very friendly and provided very vague instructions about the room. However, during check-out the following day, we were assisted by an American woman who was very kind and helpful.

If you're just looking for a place to crash for one or two nights, this is fine.
Pros:

It was convenient and next to our destination.

Cons:

The bathroom was dirty, small, and uncomfortable and the room smelled stale. The "leather" chair was scratched and filthy.

Pros:

Хорошое расположение. Очень чисто, хороший завтрак.

Cons:

Номер был полностью оплачен заранее. При check inn был запрошен депазит $ 100, оплачен карточкой PayPall. Уже прошел месяц, но депазит до сих пор не возвращен. Неоднократно звонила в отель, но ничего не смогли обьяснить. Все еще надеюсь на возоат депазита .
