low price, high nicotine

Last minute reservation due to emergency. Picked the hotel above other options since it said "smoke free". The halls reeked like a home from the 40s that somebody smoked in for 60 years and the sellers tried to cover up the stench. The room air was stagnant - had to open a window. Lots of noise early in the morning. Would not recommend.

The accommodation was perfect, and the service too. Alas, the site entrance is difficult to reach in such a heavy traffic that happened when I was trying to enter the premisses.

The lady who checked me in was a little bit rude when I asked her about the alternative if I don’t have a credit card. She answer: you can’t stay at the hotel, with a little bit of attitude. You could have say: we’re sorry, but, CC are obligatory for deposit. She was rude
