Secure in Shimonoseki

Large, new room for the price range. Really close to station and bus terminal. Quiet. All non-smoking rooms. Swipe to floor level security. Needs better pillows and hooks for hanging items.

역주변에 비교적 새롭고 가성비 좋은 곳이라 선택. 다만 예약 당시 조식 선택지가 없었는데 아마 1층 라멘집을 아침 조식처로 사용하는듯. 짐 맡길 때 여직원이 상당히 무뚝뚝. 한일 양국 손님 다 많았는데 일본 스태프는 비교적 친절한데 너무 무뚝뚝해서 놀람. 대욕장이 있지만 대여섯자리밖에 없고 가족 손님이 많아 매우 북적댐. 다만 일본인들은 목용 매너가 좋아 불쾌한 경험은 없음. 다음에도 갈 의향 있음
