Many appreciate the well-equipped and spacious rooms, noting the thoughtful extras like pajamas and the pleasant surprise of complimentary coffee/tea in the hotel restaurant.

the hotel is close to the train station. several convenience stores and restaurants are nearby. the staff were helpful. (i am very grateful for their help).
the bathroom design was not ideal, mainly the shower head. i had some trouble adjusting it to my liking. i hope this is fixed soon.
the staff were very polite. i found a free snack in the afternoon for the guests. there was also a free happy hour, which i appreciated.
the bathroom design was not great, especially the shower head. i also noticed the bathroom amenities were quite basic. there was no body lotion available.

Mixed Feelings About This Hotel
poor shower headself-service kiosk
I found a couple of things less than stellar. The bathroom layout seemed poorly considered. The shower head placement was particularly inconvenient. the self-service check-out kiosk was a bit clunky. I really prefer a human touch, I guess.
