This Place
First, it was hard to find this place. There should be a sign outside of the building telling visitors the name. Second, the twin room was filthy. Hairs all on the floor and beds and the room seems to be falling apart. The guy at the desk was nice though.

Great management, great location.
The management was so helpful! We had a late check in, so the manager helped us check in over the phone. I also left my cell phone, and they kept it safe until I could return for it, even after checkout. I highly recommend this hostile for the kind staff and location. Will definitely stay again.

Would not stay again.
Staff are doing the best they can and I appreciate that, but the room condition and the bathrooms really need more work. Lounge was fine, heat was good, but the room I stayed in was quite in bad conditions, and the bathrooms had showers that are not handy to use at all. Would not stay again.

プロフェッショナル
皆プロフェッショナルな接客をしてくれます。こちらが話しかける前にどうなさいましたか、と伺いに来てくれるなど丁寧な対応をして下さいました。 私もホテル業ですが、サービスが行き届いていて素晴らしい。日本語スタッフがいるかはわかりません。しかし、言葉は関係ないと思います。特別感を味わえる場所でした。

早い時間だがチェックインができるとエクスペディアの方に電話で確認を取ったのに人はおらず鍵も閉まっていないのでだれて入れるセキュリティでした。バスルームもトイレにシャワーノズルがついたようなものでした。チェックインもできないし、清潔感もなかったため別のホテルを取り直しました。

다 좋은데 투숙객 3명이서 4층라운지에서 술마시며 떠드는것을 제지하지 않으시더군요. 덕분에 소음이 조금 심하였습니다.
