Stay was good, room clean, staff excellent but no hot water…Luke warm was as good as we got. Also, no air conditioning based on central controls which I assume are associated with outside temp. Woke up in an extremely hot room. Windows open for cool air but also to street noise. Breakfast option was excellent.

I like that it was quiet and peaceful over there at night, hardly any noise whatsoever except for the ambulance. However, could improve by providing complimentary water bottles in the room so wouldn't have to buy water bottles from the vending machine. Other than that, I had a nice stay and staff were pretty welcoming and made me feel at home.

シングルルームを利用しました。 スタッフの方々は皆様気持ちの良い対応で、安心感があります。リューアルされた朝食も和食や郷土料理のメニューも豊富で、とても美味しかったです！ 部屋のコンセントの数は多く、使いたい場所には必ずありました。 部屋に卓上の鏡も置いてあり便利です。 仕方ないことかもしれませんが、Wi-Fiは利用者の多い時間帯が繋がりにくかったです。
