The hotel offers stunning sea views and comfortable rooms, but the dining experience could be improved. The service is top-notch, and the location is unbeatable with easy access to the town center. However, the lack of certain facilities may affect the overall stay.
The hotel is conveniently located right by the sea with stunning views. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but some lack a view. The staff provides excellent service. However, dining options are limited, yet the hotel offers udon. The facilities are modern and well-maintained.
The hotel is a hidden gem, offering cozy rooms and outstanding service. The central location is a major plus for exploring the city, but the dining experience fell short with limited options. The facilities are basic but functional, and the price is reasonable, although some amenities come at an extra cost.
