Japanese breakfast was very good, good location; the regular breakfast was average. On the bad note, the check in was unpleasant, the room was musty and had a cigarette smell. It took almost an hour to get another room on a different floor. The lobby is super bright , not very inviting , it looks like a communist hotel.

Very cute, the room looked very different from the pictures, but we enjoyed our stay. Went here for our Honeymoon they left us a flower and a note, which we appreciated, really liked that they had room service and breakfast even if you didn’t have it included you could pay for it. Loved all the toiletries they provide and the pijamas. Thank you
