The rooms and service were fine. They were clean and very "Western" in the sense that the shower actually worked!
However, prostitution is rampant in Odessa and this hotel was no exception. When I got off the elevator on my floor, there was a young woman sitting in a chair by the elevator - and she asked me if I wanted companinship for the night. She then added it was only $100 USD. I turned her down, saying that my wife (soon to join me in the room) would "probably not like it". I mentioned it to the front desk the next morning, but the same woman was on our floor again that night.
