Cleanliness
6.6
Mixed signals: several guests praised room cleanliness, but there are multiple strong negatives (tobacco smell, pronounced body odor on arrival, and lint/soot in laundry dryer) that lower the score.
Service
8
Generally positive staff interactions (friendly/attentive front desk reported), though isolated incidents of unresponsiveness (refusal to change a smoked-in room, no currency exchange for laundry) reduce the rating slightly.
Location
9
Consistently praised: very close to station, supermarkets, outlets and tourist area — frequently called 'excellent' or 'extremely convenient' by guests.
Room Quality
7
Varied: some rooms are compact (typical business-hotel small rooms) while others are spacious for families; overall acceptable but some guests found rooms too small.
Amenities
6.3
Basic but present: air purifier, microwave, hairdryer and pajamas noted; issues include air purifier not turned on initially and lack of change machine/coin service for laundry and some maintenance concerns.
Value for Money

以假日來說，這地點開出的價格相當好，當然一家人要拆成幾間房來訂，時間不長還可以接受，備品只是基本沒辦法算多樣，就以連鎖商務旅館來說，這CP值算不錯。
Pros:

前台態度很好，房間整潔，以一般商務旅館來說，價格算是非常實惠，地點也不差。

Cons:

沒有三人以上的家庭房。

あと一歩
Pros:

空気清浄機があった事

Cons:

入室した瞬間、すっごい加齢臭が。
空気清浄機のスイッチ入れてすぐに晩御飯食べに外出しました。
２時間後に帰ると、綺麗な空気になってました。
最初から入れてくれてたら、満点つけたいスタッフの対応も良かったのに、本当に残念でした。
