“I found the location to be a real highlight, placing you right in the middle of things, near the main shopping area and a quick hop from the shrine. The self-service system struck me as surprisingly efficient, contributing to a seamless stay, and the rooms are clean, well-maintained and apparently recently renovated, which gives them a fresh feel. For those who value convenience and a central location, this looks like a solid choice.”
