My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were clean and comfortable, resembling the quality you would expect from a $90 Best Western-type hotel, though there was a noticeable air freshener smell coming from the living room that could be overwhelming. The service was attentive and friendly, likely carried out by students, ensuring a pleasant experience. However, the location, though convenient to the university, showed signs of wear and tear like peeling wallpaper and stains on the bathroom door that could use some renovation. The dining experience was a mix of excellent with a great assortment and dreadful options, including local Nagasaki rice. The facilities were decent but in need of an update.
