まだ新しいこともあり施設としてはとても過ごしやすくて良かったです。 気になる点は遮音性です。外の車の音が気になりました。また車での利用を想定しているためか、駅から歩いてきた時の入口やフロントの位置が遠くて面倒に感じました。 値段とサービスを見ればとても良いと思います。

第一次入住貨櫃酒店，非常乾淨、寧靜、比絕大多數酒店空間大，泊車方便，一出門即可上車，駕車五分鐘有便利店，是一個非常好的體驗。備品齊全，而且有免費冷凍簡餐提供可在房間內微波爐加熱，雪櫃有冰格可存放冰凍甜點，下次一定會再入住同類型酒店！

玄関で靴を脱ぐタイプで、室内は清潔、そもそも全体的に新しく、きれいです。受付にもスタッフさんが常駐されていて安心でした。コインランドリーの存在もありがたかったです（最寄り駅前にもコインランドリーはありますが、ホテルの敷地内にあるのはいいですね）。 宿泊数分の軽食（冷凍食品をいただけて、室内の電子レンジで調理できます）があるサービスも嬉しいです。 また利用します。

Greenland and Road Trip Friendly!

This is a brand new hotel, so everything is new and works great. Each room is an independent trailer, which means I didn’t hear any noise besides cars outside. TV, fridge/freezer, microwave in each room. Wi-Fi worked pretty well. A bit bigger than expected, comfortable, the AC was on for me when I arrived. My only gripe is the towels, which are typically rough. There are a few choices for the (frozen) light meal, and I almost chose curry. But I went with the chicken pilaf and saved it until breakfast, and it was more than enough to get me going. I didn’t check out the vending or laundry rooms. This place is mainly for drivers, but the station is an easy walk, and the nearby strip mall has a lot of choices for fast dining and basic shopping. The supermarket is 24 hours. Just south is a bento shop, too. Very convenient to Greenland (the bus stop is about a 12 minute walk). Not much else to do in the immediate area, though. I’d definitely stay here again. Staff was nice, check in was easy.
