kind staffkimono rentals
the front desk staff were so kind and accommodating , i brought a ton of luggage and they offered to store it for me before check in and after check out. the hotel itself was so beautiful , i wish i stayed for longer , it had a lot of amenities i didn't get to take advantage of , like kimono rentals and tea ceremonies.
the wi-fi was terrible , the hotel offers two networks , but neither worked properly , even messaging apps wouldn't load.
