Hotel ratings by criteria:
The hotel is located close to the airport and the city. Little entertainment, shopping is scarce. The old museum restaurant is quite interesting.
The territory is large enough, the recreation area is sufficient. There is no greenery in the hotel. 1 pool in the sauna 5x10 m. 2 saunas of an average level, 1 Turkish (actually, Roman) bath, very cool and always crowded with children. The hotel has 2 microshops, one fur-leather, the other souvenirs and sundries. There is no Internet.
The furniture in the hotel is poor. There is no air conditioning in the room. There is no balcony. Shower and bath, large sink, hair dryer. The view from the windows is interesting (we had a mountain and a highway). The TV in the room is old, about 20 channels, incl. 4 in Russian. In the recreation area on the 1st floor there is a large plasma TV.
The staff is welcoming and friendly. Many speak Russian. They clean up well every day. The restaurant staff are friendly.

The food is good, varied and tasty. All inclusive except hard drinks. From alcohol there is white and red wine, 1 grade of beer. Turkish and European cuisine. The quality of food is good, lots of greens, vegetables and fruits.
There is a gym in the hotel. Billiards, table tennis are paid. There are few trails. Track maintenance is irregular and of poor quality. There are no guns on the track. We were lucky - the day before it snowed and it was enough for us for 6 days. By the end of the week it was almost completely blown away. Snow groomers do not work every day and more often during the day. In the evening I saw them work 1 time on the last day before the "show", which included the descents of Russian snowboarders from the mountain. There is no lighting of the tracks and, accordingly, there is no skiing in the evening. There are no queues at the lifts, except on weekends, when local residents come. But even then the queue is no more than 4-5 minutes. Good "live music" in the hotel did not come across. There were discos. Little entertainment for older people.
In general, the impressions are good. We got lucky with the weather. We rested well. Cheap, close, no visa required. Service in the European sense of the word is in its infancy. You can go again, but you need reliable information about the weather. They say that in 2011 there will be a Universiade. The level of service should also be raised to it. )
