Maria and I travelled to Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia with Tripadeal, an Australian Travel Company. Of all the Hotels were stayed at, during this wonderful trip, Holiday Inn Telavi stands out as being the best. It is a new Hotel. We were welcomed by a beaming, friendly Manager. We had read that the Hotel offered a Coupon for a drink at the Bar but that was not the case. We were provided with a very nice room and ensuite on the 5th floor which is also where the Hotel Restaurant is located. There we were welcomed by the most efficient, beautiful Mariam. There was nothing which she couldn't do!! We commend her for her efficiency and service. We had dinner at the Restaurant. We were pleased with how quickly we were served our meals which were very good and not expensive. There, while having our dinner, we spoke to a young Georgian lady who was taking part at a Conference. When I asked what the topic of the Conference was, she replied, in very good English and English is the second language in Georgia, that they were trying to critically evaluate and counter the dissemination of falsehoods emanating from Russia. Georgia is an independent country and is fully decided to stand on its own feet. In fact, we learned that they resent Russians who visit Georgia and treat the country as it were their own. Graffiti on the walls clearly indicated how Georgians feel towards Russia. Telavi is a beautiful city. We recommend this Hotel to everyone. Hopefully they will be served by Mariam!
