Female・Taiwan・Couple (married couple)

The accommodations were comfortable, and the shopping was convenient, but due to the hard-packed snow, finding places to eat was a bit challenging.

The price, cleanliness, comfortable rooms, relaxing atmosphere of the large public bath, and convenient dining options were all great

Date of visit January 2024

While the room is warm and the location is convenient, it's not quite perfect
