Acceptable comfort for a budget hotel. Cockroach hole near the mini fridge. Worker still came to enter and clean the room eventhough a 'do not disturb' sign was clearly hanged at the door.

連泊のために値段が安かったこちらを利用しました。ほぼ快適なステイでしたが、トイレとシャワーが同じところにあってシャワーを使うと床が水浸しです。比較的すぐ乾きますが、スリッパを持っておくと快適です。駅からは少し距離があるのでバスを使うと便利です。
