train station convenience store facial cleansers

The hotel is really close to the train station. A convenience store is conveniently located nearby too. The hotel offers complimentary facial cleansers and moisturizers in the lobby!!!

Air conditioning is centrally controlled, making the room a bit dry at times.

unwilling staff inflexible refill

The staff wasn't exactly warm. i needed help with a local izakaya reservation since i don't speak japanese and the staff seemed unwilling to assist. one colleague didn't even look at me before refusing. It felt dismissive. also, i skipped room cleaning to be eco-friendly but asking for water refills was like a chore. They insisted i come downstairs myself rather than bring it up. this felt inconvenient and oddly inflexible, especially given the hotel size.

mixed feelings about the stay

convenient location public transport air conditioner no flexibility

the hotel's location was acceptable since it was near public transport.

the air conditioner was centrally controlled and turned off (i found this out the hard way). the room became uncomfortably hot, and the only solution offered was to open a window. i expected more flexibility.
