Acceptable Stay with Issues
no elevator staff assistance
The room had standard tea-making facilities.
Our room was on a high floor. Getting luggage up several flights of stairs was inconvenient as the hotel has no elevator. I also found the lack of available staff assistance frustrating.

Satisfactory stay near the station
short walk train station clean room cute staff no air conditioning challenging parking no free parking
The hotel was a short walk from the train station. This was very convenient after my train was cancelled. My room was very nice and neat. The staff were cute even though I arrived late (after 10pm).
My room was on the third floor and had no air conditioning. This made sleeping difficult. I found parking challenging. There was no free parking during the day.
