The convenience store was right near by. A shopping area was within walking distance as well. Very kind staff.

25 January 2025
Very clean hotel, kind staff, and close to convenience stores. A little bit of a walk to trains and food but not too far. Hotel does not have a microwave for guests unfortunately. Besides that small inconvenience, it was very nice and we very much enjoyed our stay.
