The hotel is in a very good location, with the seaside shopping mall and aquarium nearby. The surrounding environment is also very safe.
But there are mosquitoes in the room. I killed two before going to bed, but there are still mosquitoes that will disturb your sleep! The toothbrush cup broke when I picked it up to brush my teeth, and I scratched my hand. It was too late and too tired that day, so I put on a band-aid and went to bed. I checked out the next day and told the hotel front desk about these two things, but they didn't care.
