Variability in room condition

While some rooms were highly satisfactory, many reviews indicated insufficient cleanliness and facility conditions in other rooms, so it is realistic to adjust expectations before visiting

Poor soundproofing and odor infiltration within the building

Noise from the hallway can be clearly heard inside the room, and there are cases where cigarette smoke infiltrates the entire building, so sensitive guests should be cautious

Some items with disappointing hygiene management

There are criticisms that detailed hygiene management is lacking for frequently touched items such as bathrobes, bathtubs, TV remotes, and in-room tables, so it is advisable to check them yourself before use
