Pros:

The location close to the waterfront and the breakfast.

Pros:

Fruit was fresh and delicious

Cons:

Apple juice was tasted different and there was limited variety. Would be nice for the accommodation cost if there was a chef cooking a fresh breakfast.
Had to pay extra for a real coffee

Pros:

朝食の品数が多く、おいしかったです。

Cons:

部屋のTVリモコンが利かなかったり、TVの取付角度が上向きだったり、手直しをしてもらいました。本来日常点検で問題が無いようにして欲しい。更に、ベットの上に点灯しない証明が取り付けてあって、点検依頼をしたがノーレスであった。
