Hotel Lirak

4.0 star property
7.2 out of 10, Good, (28)
"Room (blankets and towels as well) smelled strongly of cigarette smoke and the room was very cold despite heat being on. Convenient location in the center of town and breakfast was very good. I can handle being cold for one night but I really would prefer a place that does not smell like cigarettes. "
