Pros:

Отличное расположение, номера большие и комфортные

Cons:

Помимо оплаты за проживание и депозита с меня сняли непонятно за что сумму в 155 долларов. На сообщение отель не отвечает, полный игнор. Я бы не доверял данные своей карты этому отелю!

Très bon emplacement avec quelques nuisances sonores.
Pros:

La localisation et l’amabilité du personnel.

Cons:

L’insonorisation avec la highway juste à côté et à l’intérieur de l’hôtel avec des résidents bruyants. Les fenêtres ne peuvent pas s’ouvrir pour aérer la chambre.
