The area was very convenient. My nonsmoking room smelled like someone that chained smoked for forty years had lived in it. You could smell it from outside the room. The bedding was thin, frayed, and faded, but it looked clean. The second bed in the room just had a yellowed bottom sheet. The bed was so uncomfortable, my back hurt for several days after leaving. The shower had rusted spots where the coating had chipped off. There was one stained towel and no lamp. To read in bed, you had to have the overhead light on. The help looked/acted like they were leftovers from the Soviet era. If you decide to stay here, make sure to bring your own toilet paper unless you like recycled newsprint toilet paper. It looked like most of the guests were either drunken frat boys or families from Russia. Avoid this
