Valaam Monastery

Room is small and ideal for solo trip. Parking is terrible. “First come first serve” not ideal when you’re arriving at midnight. The streets aren’t the safest. Other than that, room is clean, modern, and cute. Kiosk staff really helpful and easy to check in and out.

Room was super clean and staff was friendly

The staff were super nice and they go above and beyond! The rooms are tiny, which was fine for my trip. We found parking in the neighborhood, $45 a day for valet was not ideal and I didn’t know about it until I showed up. Restaurant was good a bit overpriced. We asked for water that wasn’t tap and they brought us a bottle which was $15, learned my lesson. My biggest complaint is the comp breakfast. No eggs! All I wanted was a good hearty breakfast before two days of work and it was crap cereal, sugary yogurt, bread. I was super disappointed. The area can be a bit loud with the freeway there and party people.
