Whole facilities are kept clean, and staffs are professional. I needed to leave early, 24H reception service was convenient. They pay attention for eco, as the frequency of changing sheets and so on (every 4 days), and amenities are prepared at front to not to waste. Totally very comfortable.

A perfectly normal hotel, bonus for having a bathtub in the room. The only drawback is that it's a fair walk from the train station if you happen to have luggage.

快適に過ごせました。 ありがとうございます。 ただ、洗濯機と乾燥機の数が2台ずつしかないため、少なく感じました。 さらに洗濯機は1台故障しており、残りの1台しか使えない状況でした。 結果として夜中まで洗濯機が使えるのを待つことになりましたので、不便に感じました。 洗濯機、乾燥機の増設や、付近のコインランドリーの案内があると良いと思いました。
