Pros:

Die Nähe zum Nara-Park ist toll. Man kann alles sehr einfach zu Fuß erreichen... den Bahnhof, den Park, diverse Shreine. Die kostenlosen Pflegeprodukte sind toll, es gibt einen Wasserspender und auch eine wirklich tolle kostenlose Gesichtsmaske.
Das Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig und lecker, allerdings sehr japanisch.

Cons:

Nichts
