Their fitness center did have very limited number of sweat towels .... whereby we had to wait for 30mins to get cleaned ones! And the receptionists at the gym was not that helpful. The rooms are so outdated and you could smell "mold" inside the rooms. The elevator is not working and under major maintance which to me they should have just closed the whole hotel and take the moment to update the rooms as well. Great location but missed opportunity!

Worth the money.

My go-to place in Masaki. Mainly because of the gym for which I had access to as a hotel guest. My only recommendation is to ask for a room opposite the gym and restaurant as they tend to be loud.
