A Room with a View

I stayed in a double room on the 9th floor, and the view was absolutely amazing. I could see Karatsu Castle to my left, the beautiful Nijino Matsubara to my right, and the stunning lit-up bridge right in front of me. The complimentary massage chair in the room was a good surprise, something I've not seen in other hotels in this price range.

I managed to visit the onsen during my stay, and while it was small, it was a great option for relaxing after a long day. The ambiance was serene, making it a perfect place to unwind. Even though it was busy due to the hotel being a popular business spot, I appreciated the experience.

I had a pleasant stay overall at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and modern, making it a comfortable experience. The pool area was a highlight, great for relaxing after a long day. However, while the dining options were decent, I felt there could be more variety. Overall, it’s a solid choice, especially for families, but it would be better if the breakfast had a few more options.
