Excellent Stay with Great Breakfast

fresh roomefficient air conditioningfresh airexcellent breakfast

The rooms smelled undeniably fresh. The air conditioning worked efficiently. The windows opened a little, allowing fresh air. Breakfast offered an excellent mix of international and Japanese cuisine. (I especially enjoyed the cinnamon mochi strips!) The coffee machine grinds each cup of coffee individually.

The daily cleaning service isn't available.

The location was acceptable enough. It was near the metro station, I suppose.

The room was dreadfully small. Opening my suitcase was like a strategic puzzle I didn't sign up for. It continued late into the night.

I found the room to be quite dark, a definite drawback. the air felt stale because of inadequate ventilation. additionally, i noticed the room cleaning was only done every three days. This felt insufficient for maintaining a high standard of hygiene.
