Pros:

Location was great.

Cons:

Hotel food is relatively expensive. Facilities are good but sometimes they don't think outside the square. My friend was not well, I went back to the hotel and asked for a water bottle, they said only 2 bottles given per room and no more. A little empathy would have gone long way.

Pros:

周辺に行きたいお店がすべて揃っており、非常に便利でした。特にオリーブヤングをはじめ買い物をしたかったお店がすべ歩く圏内にあったため、とても充実した時間を過ごせました。

Cons:

一点だけ残念だったのは、以前泊まった時はアメニティが充実していたのですが、今回は歯ブラシやヘアブラシなとの設置がなく、その点だけ少し不便を感じました。近くにダイソーがあったので、必要なものはすぐに買い揃えることができました。
