初めてのワンちゃんとの旅行✨️大満足でした😍
Pros:

フロントの方の対応や部屋ゎ快適に過ごすことができました😊
立地も駅や渡月橋が徒歩圏内でパーキングも近くてお散歩するにもいい場所でした✨️
朝食無料サービスがあり、パンと飲み物もコーヒーだけでなくジュースもあり子どもたちも喜んでいました☺️
部屋にレンジやトースター、ミニキッチンなど、普段のホテルにゎない設備があり助かりました♫

Cons:

立地的にホテルの前の道が少し狭くて運転に不安がある人ゎ困るかなぁって思いました。川など水辺が近くて部屋の前の電気（外になるので）に虫が多く、部屋に入る時に入っちゃう感じで虫除けスプレーなどの対策が必要でした。
色々無料貸し出しサービスがありQRコードでお願いしましたが、スタッフの方が少ないのか届くのに時間がかかり少し困りました。

Très bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

L’emplacement à proximité de la gare et des centres d’intérêts
La taille de la chambre, la literie, les équipements (micro-ondes, grand réfrigérateur)
Les viennoiseries offertes et le café
La gentillesse du personnel
La machine à laver 400¥ et le sèche linge 200¥ très pratiques et efficaces

Cons:

Le ménage (remplacement serviettes, vidage des poubelles) n’est réalisé qu’à la demande. Ce qui n’est pas indiqué de prime abord
