Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was lovely! The rooms were super comfortable, had great views, and were nicely decorated. However, there was a bit of noise from a family party one evening, and there was a funny smell like someone cooking in the room. The small sectioned-off patio area for each room was a nice touch, giving me a little outdoor space to relax.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and bright, with nice decor that made me feel right at home. The small patio area was a wonderful bonus for some outdoor relaxation, perfect for a longer stay. The service was top-notch, incredibly accommodating, and always there to make my experience even better. The location in Japantown was fantastic, with plenty of dining options around. The in-building restaurant served a decent breakfast, adding to the convenience of the stay.
