This hotel offers a spacious and clean room, plus the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, especially with language barriers. The location is decent, but not as central as some might prefer. The dining experience was unique, although it felt limited with only Japanese-style options. Overall, it's a great value for money considering the amenities and service provided.
