A few guests reported unpleasant smells in rooms or issues with linen/room odor; while many found the property clean, these reports suggest occasional housekeeping or ventilation problems.
Love-hotel style may not suit all stays
The property's love-hotel format (adult-oriented amenities, limited front-door access, in-room vending) surprised some visitors and led others to say it may be better suited for short or specific stays rather than extended tourism.
