Multiple reviews mention the hotel is distant from the city center and difficult to reach by public transport; several suggested it is best suited to guests who drive and asked for better taxi support from staff.
Love‑hotel nature and unclear booking information
Some guests were surprised to learn the property is a love hotel; booking pages did not always make this clear and rules (for example about minors) were only noted at check‑in, causing concern for a few guests.
Unreliable or weak Wi‑Fi
At least one guest reported the Wi‑Fi was effectively unusable, which impacted their experience during the stay.
Maintenance and cleanliness inconsistencies
There were isolated reports of issues such as hair left in the bath, slow sink/drainage, dusty areas under fabrics, speaker distortion in the projector room, and noticeable smoking odor in some rooms.
Inconsistent service and some food/benefit shortcomings
A few reviewers found staff responses and explanations lacking, membership discounts offered little tangible benefit for overnight stays, and one guest suggested the breakfast content could be improved.
