Thoughtful design: Earth-toned walls and subtle artwork gave the hallways and rooms a cozy yet elegant feel.

Refreshments: A table with two bottled waters, plus tea and coffee pods neatly stored in the drawers.
Plenty of storage: An abundance of drawers and a spacious closet make long stays more convenient.
The Highlight – The Japanese-Style Bathroom
Deep soaking tub perfect for a relaxing bath.
Japanese-style shower area with a stool, replicating an authentic Japanese bathing experience.
Bidet toilet with heated seat – luxury meets practicality.
Well-stocked toiletries – though a list of available extras (like shaving cream) would have been helpful.
Full-length mirror at the entrance – an appreciated addition for getting ready.
Fitness Center
A solid selection of equipment, including treadmills and pulley machines.
Well-maintained machines with towels available for workouts.
Two TVs (though they weren’t turned on during our visit).
A giant wall mirror – perfect for checking form during workouts.
Yoga mats available for a more relaxed exercise session.
Convenience Store
Located on the first floor and accessible 24/7 with your hotel key.
Stocked with snacks, ice creams, and toiletries for anything you may have forgotten.

Exploring the Hotel
The conference rooms looked spacious and well-maintained.
The lobby features a restaurant with happy hour, which we wanted to check out but were too exhausted after check-in.
A spa room is available, and they even provide a discount coupon upon check-in. Another feature we would love to review in the future!
Sleep Quality & Comfort
Medium-firm bed with a luxurious feel.
Fluffy pillows and clean bedding.
Relaxing room lighting that created a calming ambiance.
One small drawback: The sheer curtains had noticeable dirt at the bottom.
