Booking information highlights free Wi‑Fi throughout and in-room entertainment channels and video content; select rooms are reported to provide compact refrigerators and microwaves and some units offer larger bathtubs for a more relaxed soak.

Children and pets are not accepted and bookings are restricted to guests aged 18 and over; staff availability and the property’s operating patterns emphasize privacy, practical comforts and straightforward local assistance rather than family-oriented services.

Negative Reviews
Love‑hotel style may surprise some guests
A number of reviewers were uncomfortable with the property’s love‑hotel identity (adult items, themed decor), saying it can feel seedy or inappropriate for tourists or those expecting a standard hotel.
Small, dated rooms and overall aging property
Many comments mentioned rooms and common areas feeling old, narrow or dim; several guests expected more modern décor or larger spaces.
Bathroom layout and water pressure issues
Common complaints included small bathtubs, combined bath/toilet layouts (no separate toilet), and weak water pressure that affected shower and toilet performance.
Noise and thin walls
Some guests heard noise from neighboring rooms and described thin sound insulation, which disturbed sleep for a few visitors.
Occasional service/amenity problems and privacy concerns
A few reviewers reported problems such as Wi‑Fi not connecting, a broken TV, or reception/front‑desk handling that felt intrusive (eg. announcing full names), and one noted the front desk location and lack of clear guidance caused confusion.
