If you’re looking for a clean, safe and well maintained accommodation. This is it. The area around it doesn’t have much to offer during the evening. It’s in an expensive shopping area and a stores in close up early. It is close to the train station. I didn’t really enjoy it because it seems mostly functional as opposed to warm and welcoming, but it certainly was convenient.

駅から近く、アクセスが良い。無駄なものがなくて、わかりやすい。エントランスなどもきれい。 駐車場の案内がもう少しわかりやすかったらよかった。一方通行が多いので、ぐるぐるまわってしまったし 料金もそれぞれだったので、かなり高いところに停めてしまってショック。 ホームページに、その辺の情報も欲しかったです

このたびはお世話になりました 13時頃に到着して荷物だけ預けるつもりで参ったのですが、若い男性スタッフの方に「チェックインは15時からです」とぶっきらぼうな口調で案内され、少し残念な気持ちになりました。 サービス業としての印象にはやや疑問を感じましたが、その後ご対応いただいた他のスタッフの方々は丁寧で親切で、気持ちよく過ごすことができました。 立地は駅からも近く、唐津の中では衛生面も安心して泊まれる数少ないホテルだと思います。 ただ、お部屋には荷物を置ける棚やクローゼットがなく、水も備え付けられていない点が不便に感じました。 館内には自動販売機がありますが、現金しか使えず、キャッシュレス決済に非対応です。 炎天下に水を買うためだけに外出しなければならず、少々不親切な印象を受けました。 せめて、有料でもいいのでペットボトルの水1本でも置かれていれば、より快適だったと思います。 また、エアコンから若干のカビ臭と枕から人の脂臭がしました。 夜中にエアコンから「カラカラ」と音がして目が覚めてしまい、眠りが浅くなってしまったのも残念でした。 まだ新しいホテルなだけに設備面でもう少し配慮があると、より快適に過ごせると感じました
