9/10 Wonderful! (30 reviews)

We got a corner room which was not convenient for unpacking given the layout, but not a big deal. It is a new hotel, you could smell fresh furniture. Shower pressure could’ve been better, but having a ramen station with a full kitchen was a highlight!

The shower is combined with wash basin, making it inconvenient. The bathroom is small. Great that there is washer and drying rack.
