This year they have a large-scale renovation: they are rebuilding motels + the roof of the hotel itself. Hence the problems. . .
Let's start with the fact that the MOTEL was booked back in February. The booking was updated at the beginning of July. Nothing foreshadowed a breakdown... Somewhere in the week they called and asked if the reservation was still relevant, because the motels were being renovated, there might not be enough for everyone. The answer was yes and they left the reservation saying everything was OK. However, when we got there, the aunts at the reception made round eyes and said: "There are no motels, didn't they call you? " As a result, they settled in the hotel itself, in a more or less decent room, though very old. At the same time, air conditioning is currently not provided in the tourist complex (it was just done during the repair of the roof), and on the street it was just under +40C. So I had to steam up. The only plus from such accommodation is the price - the room is cheaper than a motel, and you don’t have to pay for a garage. True, the car had to be put in an open parking lot, where during the night it was covered with ashes from the forests burning in the Vladimir region... but this is so, trifles.
Another big minus is that in summer all motels and some of the hotel rooms are occupied by the so-called children's creative groups, which in fact turned out to be just noisy schoolboys. The walls in the hotel are thin, and their voices from the next room did not shut up until 2 am, and the effects did not help : (

Another minus - for a week they never changed their underwear, which, in such heat, sweated very quickly. Well, at least the towels were changed daily, but soap and shampoo were zhililis.
What pleased me was the quality of the food: although the choice is not as great as somewhere else, it was enough for a week so as not to be repeated. So no problem with that.
Generally ok as we were essentially only in the complex from dinner to breakfast. I guess when the reconstruction is over, it will be a completely different matter, but this year is so-so.
