エアコンからポコポコと異音があってうるさい。 防音性が悪く隣室のいびきが聞こえる。 部屋に冷蔵庫やトイレがなく、共用トイレ内で寝ている客がいるなど迷惑な客がいた。

良かった点は24時間自由に出入りできるところで、夜間や早朝に写真を撮りに行くには便利でした。人によってはセキュリティの面でデメリットと感じるかもしれません。 一方悪かった点ですが、壁材が薄いのか、夜間ノイズがひどく寝付きに影響しました。

新しい設備で 掃除もきちんとしてあり 良かったと思います。 ただ トイレが1階にただ１つというのは ちょっと 少ないと思います……⤵️ 犬も泊まれて とても助かりましたが 他所である様な 足拭きや 水入れ コロコロ等 何も無く 残念でした… ちゃんと 料金を お支払いするのですから せめて それくらい 気持ちを感じたかったです。 スタッフさんは とても気さくで良かったです☺️

皆さんが気さくでとても快適なホテルです。宿泊棟の玄関はセルフサービスのコーヒーが用意されており、コーヒーを飲みながら他のお客さんとも会話することができ、距離を縮めるにはちょうどいい空間となっています。
