I was asked to send my resume and when I sent it, it was passed.Mr. ○○, are you strange? If you don't like it, just say no. There's no apology either.Everyone, this place is not worth using.

The bathroom at the Haneda Airport store is larger, but there is a lounge on the first floor, which is convenient.Speaking of greed, it would have been better if the lounges were separated by gender.There is a coin laundry near the toilet on the same floor as the bedroom, but there are only a few so it's first come, first served.The recommended room is First.For business, we recommend going first.

The concept of the room, which is a little larger than a capsule hotel, is wonderful. However, on the day I used it, the boiler broke down and I couldn't use the bathroom, so I could only take a shower. It was disappointing that there was no compensation for that and the regular price (although it was Goto;).

The rooms and common areas are clean and very clean. I stayed in first class, but I was only able to sleep for about 2 hours due to the loud noises made by the new guests at midnight, 1am, and 4am. Instead of burying guests away from the corners, if you don't pack them according to time of day, the structure will make it noisy and make it difficult to get a good night's sleep.Or even if it was full, I thought the space in the public bath was too small.
