Samokov Hotel - URGENT!!!

Can anyone please give me an honest review of the Samokov hotel??

As you can read in a different post our D*c*head tour operators are offering us an upgrade from the Iglika to here.

I am concearned and not to offend anyone but last year out there the hotel looked like a dump to be perfectly honest.

Please someone put my mind at rest.

Take care

Alan

The location was great, easy reach for the gondola & yasrabets 4 man chair lift. As everyone says the food was wasn't always up to much but hey eat ...
