Rested with a child in the LOTs "Nizhny Miskhor" in early September. Room "Tower" in the Naryshkins' Dacha. There was a complex and ambiguous impression about the rest within the walls of the hotel itself.
I'll start in order.
What did you like?

The location of the hotel - traveled a lot of places during the rest. To the cable car to Ai-Petri 15 minutes on foot, to Vorontsovsky Park half an hour on foot or 10 minutes by minibus, which run very often. The Yalta Zoo can be reached in 20 minutes by taxi, the water park in Simeiz is 15 minutes by taxi. To the Nikitsky Botanical Garden about an hour by taxi, to the center of Yalta - half an hour by minibus. The weather was beautiful, the paid beach of the Ai-Petri sanatorium (included in the price) is neat, clean, a huge plus - they don’t smoke on the beach, only in specially designated areas. Miskhorsky park is beautiful, maybe not very well-groomed and obviously not well-lit in the evening. Walking in the park in the evening is better with a flashlight.
What didn't you like?
We flew to Simferopol late in the evening, while customs, while the transfer was at the hotel at about 12 am, but no one warned us that all nearby cafes and shops close at about 11 pm. Finding a convenience store in an unfamiliar place at night was not easy. Three meals a day in the dining room of the hotel was included in the price. If possible, never take food in this place. Sovdepovskaya canteen with a pretension to a pretentious restaurant, in this canteen, by the way, there is a dress-code. During the rest, there was a conflict with the head of this dining room, since it was planned to place one more vacationer at our table and the intersection of the meal schedules of two families did not suit us in any way. The conflict had to be resolved through the hotel administration. True, after that, our table was carefully ignored - they brought all the dishes at once and removed the used dishes only after we left. The funniest thing happened just before leaving. Before leaving, all vacationers are given a book of reviews and suggestions or something like that. We have seen this several times, we even placed bets on whether they would give it to us. But the head of the dining room with such "genuine" surprise said goodbye to us: with the words "as you are already leaving, it's a pity. " Conclusion: it is easier to eat in any cafe near the sea - a little longer and maybe a little more expensive, but much tastier and more pleasant. For dinner, we regularly went to other cafes, of which there are many.
And a few more words about the room "Tower". The room is very large, comfortable, with a panoramic observation room on the top floor with a magnificent view of the park and the sea. But for some reason, probably half of the electric lamps and switches in the room did not work. This caused some inconvenience, especially when you go up from the living room to the bedroom in the evening, and the walk-through switch near the bedroom and the staircase lighting lamp do not work. That is, you have to climb a rather steep, creaky staircase with different steps in complete darkness. There was a washing machine in one of the bathrooms, but this is just a piece of furniture - it is not connected to the water supply. The heated floor in the bathroom didn't work either. Cleaning in the room was carried out with high quality, and with a small tip of the maid very high quality. We just physically didn’t have time to litter, and the number was again cleaned.

This is such a difficult impression about the hotel.
