* One Of Moscow's Bad Hotels *

This complex has several buildings. Building number 3 appears to have a roof in very poor condition. I was concerned about walking beneath the overhang and the balconies because of the condition of the building. From there we were sent to building #2. The first entrance we tried there was not correct. All the directors (bosses) are there. We were told to keep walking. We walked about 5 minutes to the next entrance! As I walked in the doorway - oh my! There is a horrible odor. I was about to immediately abort. But after I got inside the lobby, it wasn't so bad. I saw slot machines, a poor lobby, and people from the lower rung of the economic ladder hanging around and doing nothing. I could tell this would not be a great place to stay. I had this same impression from the first building we walked into. The security guard there was like a 16 year old kid who was not at all professional. And there was no security guard in this building #2 entrance. We were sent to another building to get permission for the facility tour. We never found the right contact there. The place was so bad, I decided it wasn't even worth it for me to spend any more time here. It's a bad hotel. Rooms go for between 660 to 3200 rubles and it is next to the Botanical Gardens. I know for certain that there are better places to stay.
