5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The room lighting controls are incredibly complex with 'mood' settings that are hard to turn off completely.
💡Some suites have two toilets, which is a weird but convenient flex.
💡The 'resort fee' concept has crept in here via the pool charge, which is rare for Japanese hotels.
💡The black exterior absorbs heat; the area around the entrance can feel warmer than the rest of the street in summer.
💡Housekeeping is immaculate but sometimes aggressive with the 'turn down' service timing.
