ゆきえ

部屋のベッドサイドにあるティッシュペーパーもいっぱい入ってたし、トイレットペーパーの予備もあった事や部屋もベッドも清潔な印象で安心してすごせました。朝食を食べにエレベーターで降りた時にフロントにいたスタッフから「おはようございます」が無かったのでこちらから言ったら言ってくれました。それがマイナス点です。

施設が少し古いようでしたが清潔感があるので良かったです。大浴場が時間で男女入れ替えだったためタイミングが合わず、入れなかったのが残念でした。スタッフの皆さんはどの方もとても感じが良かったです。ただレストランのスタッフの方が朝食チケットを回収されるだけで案内がなかったので、もう少し気遣いいただけるとよいかと思いました。

いい意味で驚き。 普通のビジホだと思ったけど、大浴場と朝食がいいとこんなに違うのかと思った。しかも値段も大して変わらない。これなら断然スマイルホテルの方が良いと思った。 施設の古さは多少あるけど、十分清潔だし、スタッフのサービスも良い。駐車場は満車だったけど近隣に駐車場がある。 他と迷ってたら、一度泊まってみてください。
