Why don't you like it? It's difficult to simply respect each other. The Japanese remain indifferent and perfunctory. Only travelers can respect each other and maintain etiquette. The management of this hotel itself is a very problematic hotel. All harmony is created by travelers. , the hotel does not need to be complacent, there will be more reviews like mine in the future. When I came, no one could speak Chinese. There was no Chinese helper. Don’t be misled. There were people who could speak Chinese. The room was not cleaned when I checked in. The previous passenger’s trash was confiscated. There were human figures on the quilt I slept on. The breakfast I ordered was not there. People took care of me and chatted.
