よく手入れされた歴史ある建造物の隠れ家的ホテル
Pros:

古い建物ですが非常によく手入れされていました

チェックインの際にお部屋がカビ臭いと感じたのでスタッフの方に確認したところ雨季で2、3日宿泊者がいないと古い木の臭いがするがカビではないと丁寧に説明され、他のお部屋も確認させてくれました。数時間エアコンをつけると臭いもなくなりました。もし、また私のように感じられる方がいるかもしれませんがカビではないので大丈夫です

この際のスタッフの方の対応が非常に良かったので、このホテルはしっかりしているんだなと好感度が上がりました

ホテルの近くにはスーパーマーケットもあります

隠れ家的な歴史ある建物がお好きな方にオススメのホテルです

Cons:

大きな通り沿いにありますが、道路から少し奥に入った場所にあるので少しわかりづらいです
わからない場合はホテルに電話してドライバーさんに場所の説明をしてもらうとスムーズです

アットホーム
Pros:

綺麗でスタッフがみんな笑顔で何より親切！とても居心地が良かった。
バワのデザインも良かった。

Cons:

夜、蚊が部屋にいて刺されて眠れなかった。
折角の風と光が入るバワ建築だったが、蚊がいるので窓が開けられず残念だった。
