Antonina Savelyeva, Novokuznetsk. Rented in the hotel “Yeti House” suite with her husband and son of 15 years. The rooms are spacious, bright. Pleased with the pleasant aroma of wood. The staff in both the hotel and the restaurant are polite. We just had breakfast. The food is simple, without frills, but delicious. Beautiful presentation, which we as connoisseurs of restaurant etiquette really liked. The only drawback is that noise insulation wants the best. But this drawback is found in hotels quite often, so it did not cause any special inconvenience. I would like to especially note the spa. Massage at a professional level. After him, both vivacity and a great mood returned.
