"All the hotel staff were friendly, and the room was spacious and clean. The shuttle bus running between the hotel and the central station every 30 minutes was extremely convenient for getting around town. The public bath was also great for unwinding after a long day of travel. If I had to suggest one minor addition, it would be wonderful to have toothbrushes provided in the public bath amenities."
