This was my first stay at this hotel, and i was very pleased. I started with being greeted very warmly. I truly appreciated such a wonderful welcome. Next, the room was very nice and clean and a comfortable bed. There isn't much of a view, but that is an Odessa issue, not a hotel issue. The breakfast was enjoyable. The only thing missing was complimentary water. There are 2 water fountains on the main floor, but Odessa water does not taste very good.
