The rooms were clean and the mini "kitchen" was stocked with plates and cups. It was helpful to have a sink outside of the bathroom too (with four people in a room!). The front desk and breakfast personnel were very helpful and friendly. The breakfast was hot and plentiful. The location is OK, but a bit hard to find (tucked behind other buildings) and on a busy street. Internet was good.

Staff was very accommodating. Good free parking. Only problem was the alarm clock was left on for 4:45am and that was a pretty rude awakening. I would advise the cleaning staff to always make sure the alarms arent set.

Good stay

Great friendly staff. The gym for the facility was a pretty decent commercial gym beside the hotel. Breakfast was pretty good as well. The Japanese toilet was also a surprise. My only qualm about the property was that it appears to be a wood frame building. You could hear everything. The people above me woke up at 4am and the sound of rolling luggage, shower and flushing toilet woke me up. Good stat overall

Our room smelled like a dog had been in it. The inside of the bed smelled like someone else’s perfume. The window looked into another room at a right angle. The pool was directly outside the lobby with a huge floor to ceiling window displaying the occupants. Ugh. We had booked two nights but left after one.
