Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in and check-out windows are narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, and check-out is from 06:00 to 10:00, which may not suit all travel schedules.
- Adults-only and no pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate children or pets, so it may not work for families traveling with kids or animals.
- Some rooms lack views — The Japanese-Style Twin Room is without a view, so guests wanting scenic sights should book a lake-view room.
