quiet sanctuary stay

helpful staff generous room size peaceful nights
i found the staff very helpful and always available. the room size was generous allowing for comfortable movement. i liked the complimentary green tea provided it was a nice touch. the hotel's location in a quiet neighborhood ensured peaceful nights which i valued.
the absence of a television in the room was unexpected i missed being able to unwind with some tv after a day out. this would improve the stay.

bathroom mirror small samples
The bathroom mirror did not have a vanity, a little difficult. The hotel provided only one skincare pack daily. It included small samples of cleanser, serum, and moisturizer.
i found the pajamas to be a little rough, and the slippers WERe not very comfortable.
