1. Not enough for towels and toothbrushes for long stay. I had to wash towels and purchased toothpaste. 2. There were so many hairs and dust on the floor - I had to vacuum the whole room. 3. Laundry area - every time I used the washer, it said “clean filter” and it was very dirty. I wonder who clean those…

The hotel staff went above and beyond to help us send our luggage to our next hotel—they even accompanied us to the convenience store to get everything sorted. The neighborhood was quiet and pleasant, with nice restaurants within walking distance and easy train access to more central areas. Overall, it was a comfortable and stress-free stay
