Helt greit hotell
Pros:

Hotellet ligger 70m fra togstasjonen. Lett å komme seg rundt.

Cons:

Dårlig rengjøring av rommet ved ankomst. Må også spørre om daglig rengjøring. Rommet virket generelt slitt og ustelt.

交通、生活機能便利，大廳簡潔明亮、有迎賓茶酒飲實在是很棒！房間乾淨舒適。
Pros:

距離車站很近，附近機能很好，有7-11、全家，都是步行短距離即可到達。也有郵局可以寄明信片。附近有家餐廳每天都大排長龍，可惜帶小孩未成年無法用餐。步行一段距離也有日式錢湯，雖然旅館有浴缸，還是每晚會去體驗在地錢湯。遇到問題櫃檯人員總是很快協助及解決。總體來說很是喜歡！

Cons:

無
