clean room lounge access specialty desserts missing face towels no bell service service information

the room was very clean! i stayed in a superior twin room with lounge access. the complimentary coffee and juice during the day really hit the spot. i loved the specialty desserts served in the afternoon (such a treat!).

The hotel lacked face towels. I only found body and hand towels. there was no bell service, and i had to carry heavy luggage myself. i found no one told me about the available services when i checked in, sadly.

complimentary drinks afternoon desserts onsen style baths relaxing baths poor breakfast western breakfast missing window room window

the staff are so nice and the hotel is very clean. i loved the complimentary drinks and desserts each afternoon. it seemed like a treat and i looked forward to it after a long day. the onsen style baths were also really nice and relaxing, a great way to unwind.

the breakfast wasn't great. there was a sign up saying not to come between 9 and 10. i feel like this should be managed better. also, our room didnt have a window. that was disappointing and not made clear when i booked.

Acceptable Hotel, Disappointing Aspects

cramped room poor view

The location was convenient, close to the subway.

The room I received felt cramped. It didn't resemble the room I had booked. The view faced another building. The lounge access didn't offer breakfast, and morning coffee would have been nice.
