Operates as a love hotel — not suited to all guests
Numerous guests pointed out this is a love hotel rather than a typical business or city hotel; it may not meet expectations for travelers seeking a conventional hotel experience or wanting to stay overnight without that context.
Restricted entry/exit procedure
Several reviews described an unusual door/lock procedure that limits free in-and-out access (requiring staff to open the door), which some guests found inconvenient or disconcerting.
Inconsistent staff/service
Guest experiences with staff varied widely: while some praised friendly, helpful service, others reported poor or rude interactions. Service inconsistency affected overall impressions for a number of reviewers.
Aging rooms and occasional maintenance problems
A number of comments mentioned older facilities or malfunctions (e.g., TV or bidet not working, poor air conditioning, cramped baths in some rooms). These maintenance issues detracted from the stay for some guests.
In-room convenience and meal issues
Some guests reported inconveniences such as limited bedside power outlets, a small refrigerator that won't fit frozen items, shower temperature control limitations, presence of ants in one case, and breakfast that requires advance reservation or can involve long waits or mixed quality.
