"It was a clean room and staff were very helpful we thought that when booking the inn that the gym would be accessible to all guests. However, you need to pay for each individual to enter the gym space since we weren’t there for long it wasn’t a deal breaker. Overall a very convenient inn to stay and move around in Osaka."
