Temiz, ulaşımı kolay, sorunsuz bir konaklama fırsatı
Pros:

Kahvaltısı açık büfe şeklinde, seçenek bol. Tüm alerjenler belirtilmiş olduğundan hassasiyetlerinize göre seçebiliyorsunuz.
Tesis ve odalar genel anlamda temizdi. Yağmurlu günlerde ücretsiz şemsiye verilmesi de çok ince bir davranıştı. Check-in saatinizden önce gittiğinizde bagajlarınızı bırakabiliyorsunuz. Yakınlarda pek çok market, bar bulunuyor. Hemen önünde otobüs durağı var ayrıca metroya da çok yakın. Yürüyerek bile alışveriş caddesine gidebilirsiniz. Çok memnun kaldık.

Cons:

Otelin kendine ait bir sigara içme alanı olsa iyi olurdu.

駐車場が横にあり便利でした。次回も宿泊するかも。
Pros:

朝食　価格が安くこれだったらある事を除いて満足です。
フロントや朝食会場の方の対応については良かったです。
使用したタオルをケースに入れ廊下に出すのも初めてでしたが良いと思いました。

Cons:

朝食のご飯が不味かったです。古米なのか炊飯なのかわかりませんが久しぶりにまずいと思って食べました。安いので仕方ないか！
トイレの水を流す前の大きな音が気になりましたよ。
