Helpful staff. Located near to JR Shimonoseki station. Many food, dining chices. Frequent bus services to Karato, Shimonoseki port, Dan-no-ura area from bus terminal right next to the hotel. But, room was small.
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.
