3泊しました。連泊の部屋の掃除は3泊ごとなので、滞在中に清掃がはいることはありませんでした。それでもタオルや足ふきマットは新しいものを毎日扉にかけておいてくれます。綺麗好きの人にはどーかわかりませんが、個人的には問題ありませんでした。 フロントの目を通らずエレベータに乗れるのでセキュリティ的にはどうかと思いましたが、使う側からは楽でよかったです。

福岡出張にて

朝食付きで、ギリギリ会社規定内の料金で泊まれました。清潔で新しく、快適な滞在ができたました。4泊目から清掃なので、滞在中は清掃入りませんでしたが、ゴミ回収とタオル交換はしてもらえて問題なかったです。 朝ごはんがよかったので、また泊まっても良いと思いました。

地點好,近博多站,附近有三間便利店,非常方便。 check in好快及順利,checkout更好快,3日有一次執房安排非常之好,每天會有新毛巾提供,牙刷,牙膏, 拖鞋可以自取。 不好地方是張床比較軟,但係張床好大,房間亦都算大。
