The room size was a challenge (especially with luggage). I asked for extra pillows, and it seemed like an impossible request. It seemed like I was inconveniencing them. The lack of readily available assistance was a definite downside. I think they could improve their service a lot.

The hotel stored my luggage for free when I arrived early. The air conditioning in the room was controllable, a major plus. A Family Mart and Don Quixote were a short walk away, very convenient (easy access to snacks and essentials). The public bath was a relaxing amenity.

The check-in process involved self-check-in machines, which lacked a personal touch.
