Average stay with some drawbacks

infrequent room service dusty tatami area

The hotel offered free laundry on site which was definitely convenient.

The room service was only once every three days with their "eco stay" option. I was not told about this during check in. The tatami area also was not swept and had dust balls EVERYWHERE.

I found the rooms quite spacious. i appreciated the free laundry washing facilities. It was a definite bonus. the hotel provided coffee and water outside the door even with the 'do not disturb' sign, which i found considerate. the location had a lovely atmosphere.
