For me the room is clean, they serve nice and decent breakfast. However, there are some fruit flies so they better do some pest control. The previous reviews are true, their towel looks dirty. I think the management of this hotel does not listen or does not really take action on people's review. It is about time to change those towels and get a new one. Based on the hotel's name, the. owner is Japanese. Japanese are not known for being stingy. So throw away those towels and buy a new one

It was nice and clean inside. But, I speak English and Spanish and the staff did not want to communicate with me. I tried to talk to them and they ignored me on several different occasions. There was one guy who spoke English who was nice and helped me out named Zion. But the rest of the staff seemed disrespectful of the language barrier no matter how hard I tried on my end to communicate with them.

The design of our room was great. It had a roomy entrance way that we could leave our packs in, which gave us plenty of space in our room. The shower was amazing! The staff were always helpful and kind - even going out of their way sometimes. Didn't like that we had to ask to get our room cleaned - we didn't know that we had to, so put up with wet towels and smelly bins for a few days. Location was a bit rough around it but we didn't find it a problem at all
