This hotel was so comfortable!! I stayed here with my husband and teen daughters in July 2025. My kids were so excited to try sleeping on futons and tatami mats and this hotel did not disappoint. They were very comfortable. There was a coin wash nearby for laundry and the subway was a short walk away.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Spacious room, bang for the buck property. Very modern, have all the amenities. Suggest they add a microwave though! Check-in process is a bit messy as you already did fill them out during the booking and now you gotta do it again. Paid the fee $10 ish. Beside that no other interaction with hotel. They clean up every other day.

Very clean hotel, kind staff, and close to convenience stores. A little bit of a walk to trains and food but not too far. Hotel does not have a microwave for guests unfortunately. Besides that small inconvenience, it was very nice and we very much enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This was a terrible stay. It was not as advertised. The curtain was too small ( I couldn’t shower because the floor was getting wet), there were red stains on the wall and oil stains on the lamp shade, there was no sealant along the bath tub so water just goes straight behind the tub (there will be mold soon). It’s actually a motel not a hotel. Just the worst. It ruined my trip. I hated this stay.
