Very nice corridor with classic music at a low volume. Double entry doors that bring down the outside noise. It has a small entrance space between those doors. Nicely decorated and spacious room. A choice of drinks and other stuff you might need in small vending machines inside the room. AC and heating working well. Ensuite sauna, jet-bath, shower, separate bathroom and sink. Microwave, kettle, different glasses and plates, sets of assorted coffee and tea.. Very clean. The only reason of 4 stars was the mattress and pillows: mattress had very unpleasant marks at the feet (like it was sitting in a rusty water for a while) and the pillows were hard like a rock. A warning for non smokers: all the rooms in the hotel are smoking type and they stink badly. If you do not smoke, you better chose another hotel.

宿泊が１部屋の額なので、２名で泊まれば絶対に安上がり。風呂とトイレが別配置で、通常の家の中と同じ、非常に使いやすかった。なので、また出かけるときには利用したいと思います。

施設に入る入り口はなんだか古い感じで大丈夫かなぁと思いましたがお部屋に入ると一転‼️ 広いお部屋でお風呂、トイレときれいでした！ レンジ、お皿やコップなどもありました。冷蔵庫はスペースが小さいのであまり入らないけど一応あります。 ただ携帯の充電器の線がなかったです！ また、今後も利用したいと思いました〜。
