Staff are regularly cited in guest comments as attentive and helpful, and the setting is convenient for quick access to nearby transit, restaurants and local temples.

Love‑hotel nature can surprise some guests

Missing or inconvenient amenities for some needs
A few reviewers missed a kettle/ability to make coffee, breakfast/onsite dining, laundry or parking facilities—limitations that made longer stays or mornings less convenient for some.
