We did not stay
Pros:

We did not stay at the property.

Cons:

It is a LOVE motel. We found out before check in. We arrived at the motel and told them we would not stay. They denied it but it was obvious. We asked for a refund and negotiated to pay one night even though we didn’t stay.

Pros:

It was actually so great for a tourist stay. Loads of amenity. It totally worked as a travelling couple even though the process for check in feels weird talking to a wall on check in as part of the discretion element.

Cons:

It is a Love hotel, so it has a strange layout that doesn't feel very spacious in the room, and generally it feels cluttered - but it isnt. It just offers a lot.
