Acceptable Stay
convenient market excellent coffee funky smell infrequent cleaning
I appreciated the Life market next door. It provides easy access for shopping, including food and gifts. The coffee machine was excellent! It allowed for selecting different coffees and matcha drinks.
The rooms were not cleaned daily. They have an eco cleaning policy, but the floor was not vacuumed. I found a funky smell in the shower and also visible dust piles in the room.

unvacuumed floor eco cleaning
the eco cleaning policy was odd. i requested a cleaning service, yet the floor remained unvacuumed. this struck me as strange since cleanliness should be separate from environmental considerations.
