Housekeeping supplies towels and linens, and a modest breakfast with Asian or American options is available; room service is offered for selected meals. The hotel maintains discretionary long-stay and daytime packages, and a front desk that handles direct requests and amenity loans, reflecting a service model typical of a love hotel that blends self-contained privacy with staffed support.
