Все бывает в первый раз :) Everything happens for the first time :)

So our mini-trip during the New Year holidays turned out to be that we had to spend the night in Zaraysk. Rather, we specifically went to Zaraysk, and according to the time it turned out that it was better to stay there for the night. Zaraysk has just begun to receive its portion of tourism and, of course, the hotel infrastructure there, to put it mildly, is not very good. But there is, there is where to stay! I don’t remember what and what I had to choose between (yes, there was even a small choice), but I gave preference to the Trade and Hotel Complex (TGC) Zaraysk. In how loud : )). Naturally, I did not count on something chic, it would be clean. I didn’t even show my husband a photo, so that he wouldn’t give up the idea of ​ ​ visiting Zaraysk at all. Therefore, when we stopped in front of the building, the first message from the family was “Are we going to spend the night in the store? ”. (see photo)
Actually, the presence of "Dixie" turned out to be a convenient extra, because it's not very good to eat in the town either, especially in modern anti-plague conditions.
This complex is literally a complex. There is also a hairdressing salon, and a repair shop, and everything else on the floors. The husband called the whole thing “House of life”, well, remember, there used to be such. Anything, he says, happened in life, especially during a stormy student life, but he didn’t have to spend the night in the “house of everyday life”. Nothing, everything happens for the first time : )).

Not everything is so scary. Pretty tidy receptionist. By the way, there is free access to tea, coffee, sugar, cutlery you can take.
Oh, for the first time in my life I filled out some kind of form, so brown, yeah, like parishioners, all sorts of consumables. Already felt a slight breath from the past : ). No, well, that's cool, the highlight. True, I was a little tense about the possibility of paying with a card, but no, everything is fine, and you can also use a card.
Our room is called "Family". I have never seen such a riot of colors. Yes, yes, yes, another "first time" : )). Honestly, it's amazing! Rather, I was somewhat ready for the photo, but, here, the children (daughter 10 years old and son 9 years old) were simply insanely delighted. And the husband... in a stupor : )). Obviously, all these design delights were created a long time ago. There is some "fatigue", but, in general, the room is clean and tidy. The linen is crisp, the "adults" have white, the "children's" beds were covered with cute cornflower blue sets, so at home. Unless the bedspreads spoil the view with their shabby, sagging. Slippers and dental kits are available, which you will not see in all hotels with stars now. Our mansions, in addition to, one might say, standard amenities in the form of a TV and a refrigerator, are also equipped with a microwave and a kettle. You can live!
Bathroom! It just needs an overhaul. No, it fulfills its functions, but everything is so ancient, moldy, terry. I would like to believe that in the light of the tourist boom, the management will find an opportunity to repair their farm...
There is a car park in the backyard of the complex.
The female employees are nice and accommodating. Upon check-out, the administrator inspects the room.
What else? Oh yes, location. Well, here's the thing. . . Zaraysk is a small town, and all locations are nearby. So there is nothing to even think about this, everything is within walking distance. Although, the hotel is located not in the very central center, the most interesting for tourists.

Outcome. "Zaraisk" TGC - maybe not the most fashionable option, but quite cute and comfortable. And a lot of it can be for you for the first time : ))
