The room was not what I expected from this chain of hotels. The room was larger than expected. Fortunately I had the non-smoking floor. I had another room room on the smoking floor and it was a pretty strong odor. Just be careful of what you're booking when making your reservations. It was also within walking distance from many restaurants and provided ample parking.

Awful in summer

Needed to stay here because of work. Even with the air-conditioning set to 19 for the entire night, the lowest the room temperature got was 27. It was difficult to sleep and the hotel staff were quite rude. I don't recommend going here unless you absolutely have to

最初に入った部屋は窓は大量の蜘蛛の巣、窓下には黄色の汁？窓の外にゴキブリ、ベットの上の棚はホコリが積もっていました。部屋を変えてもらいその部屋は、入り口ドア付近に大きな蜘蛛の巣が2箇所張っていてベットの上の棚はホコリが積もっていました。 こんなにお掃除していない宿泊先に泊まったのは初めての経験でした。
