Hotel was really old, location was ok near bus stops. Room was dirty, I was really uncomfortable all night. I found old socks under the bed and the bidet in the bathroom had black mold in it. Bathroom had this smell in it also. I had to cancel the remainder of our stay.

二日目のタオル類の変えが置いてなかった

四人で二泊しました。二日目の朝掃除不要でゴミ箱・使用済みのタオル・バスタオルを部屋前に置いて出掛けました。帰ってみるとゴミ箱のみ(??) 二日目のタオル類は置いてない。フロントの男性に聞いたら伝えとかないと置いてないです、のような事言われたけどチェックインの女性時は「部屋前に置いておいて下さい」と聞いた筈⁇変えて欲しいから出しといたのに二日目のお風呂上がりは何で拭くのでしょうか？全国のホテル利用させて頂いてますが必ず変えのタオルは置いてあります、初めての体験でした。 フロントで一式四人分頂き部屋へ戻りました。 一人一部屋を取ったのですが私の部屋の洗面所はかなりドブ臭かったです、他部屋は臭わなかったとの事でしたが部屋に帰るとドブ臭いのはゲンナリでした。　部屋に電子レンジ・ポット・ドライヤー有り、使用はしませんでしたがコンビニ弁当など食べられる方は温められるので良いかと思います。
