The location is somewhat good.However, hygiene is the worst. There were many strands of hair in the bathroom, and what looked like pubic hair was stuck under the comforter.

Location, service, staff responseEverything is more than the priceBreakfast tastes good, but the amount prepared is small...Even though it's a buffet, about the 6th person in the room doesn't have any bread.(The person in front of me took about 10 pieces by himself, but even so, it was still a small number.)The Ochazuke was very delicious and I enjoyed the variety of toppings.I think it's rare to find a hotel of this price with this level of staff training.I go to various parts of the country on business trips, but if you look at the staff's service, smiles, and price, this place ranks high.I appreciate that the cleaning of your room was so-so.The look on his face and the way he spoke when he reported that the shower hook was brokenYou understood, right?
