The hotel room was a mix of experiences with a lovely setup but unfortunately overshadowed by extreme noise and disturbances all night that impacted our stay. The room itself was beautifully appointed and comfortable, making it inviting for future stays.

The hotel has a perfect location right next to the seafront, but the room had some issues like noise from neighboring rooms and a cramped space. The breakfast could have more variety, and parking was challenging.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room wasn't as advertised and lacked cleanliness, but it was located conveniently above the restaurant, which was a unique setting. The air conditioning provided some relief from the heat, and the decoration for my wife's birthday was a lovely touch.

The dining experience was not very nice, with muffins that could have been improved. However, the Japanese dishes were lovely. It would have been helpful if earplugs were provided as advertised.
