Disliked: Cleanliness
Ruime kamer met een aparte gang, toilet en badkamer. Comfortabel bed. Het internet was snel en de inloggegevens om de kamer binnen te komen waren duidelijk (hoewel ze wat laat werden doorgestuurd). Veel stopcontacten en een goed werkende koelkast. Het enige minpunt was de grote hoeveelheid stof (zowel op als rondom het bed en op plinten e.d.) in de slaapkamer.

Yasuhiro

3Fのダブルの部屋だったが実際にはツインベット+エクストラベットが置いてあった。 広さ的には問題ないもののツインだけであればもっと広くなるのでそういう意味では関係ないものは片しておいて欲しかった。 それ以外は　受付も無人であり効率化されているホテルであるが初めてだとやはり判り難かった
