I stayed for 2 nights from September 30, 2024.Take the express bus from Fukuoka Airport and get off at Miso Tenjin, then walk for about 10 minutes.The staff's polite customer service was good, and the female staff in particular had a wonderful smile.The rooms are also clean. You can hear some noise from the room next door, and the railway is right next door, so the train noise is quite loud.It's not a problem because you won't be able to hear anything by the time you go to sleep.This hotel has a salon exclusively for guests, where you can drink draft beer.One drink per person per day, but it was a hot day so I was satisfied with just one cup.We also have detox water and mineral water.Breakfast seemed to have different types of side dishes every day, so I was able to eat a variety of meals without getting bored even after two nights.It's a 4-minute walk from Shin-Suizenji Station, so transportation is convenient.I would like to stay here again if I have a chance to come to Kumamoto again.

Because of my job, I stay at various business hotels, but the welcome drink service and above all the breakfast buffet here seem to embody the idea of ​​``This is it, this is all you need.'' For me, the contents, taste, and variety of side dishes are the best. It was the best in terms of balance.Even though the building itself is old, the rooms were clean and comfortable.The problem was that when I connected the laptop I brought with me to a wired LAN and watched the live broadcast while running a calling app, the connection kept dropping immediately.There was no problem at all when watching videos on YouTube.I wonder if there is a limiter or something like a setting for the amount of packets sent and received?It was very inconvenient (´・ω・`)It's a 4 star rating based on my personal opinion, but I think it's a good hotel that you can use regularly if you don't care!
