"Good Points
The hotel staff were all very friendly.
The food was delicious, with a wide variety of options and nothing out of stock.
The room was cleaned well, and there was plenty of room even with an extra bed.
There was also a water server in the room, so hot and cold water was readily available.
Points for Improvement
The sauna and bath were far apart, and the sauna didn't have a cold bath, which was very disappointing.
The bath was small considering the number of rooms, so it was difficult to use when it was crowded.
There was no designated seating for meals, so it was difficult to find seats for more than four people.
Also, since it was an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink option, many people left food uneaten, which seemed to be a challenge for the staff cleaning up.
I booked through Trip, but I was a little worried because the card payment was made at the same time as the booking. I later confirmed my reservation with the hotel, but the reservation number I received from Trip didn't match and I was finally able to confirm it using my name and phone number.
I was able to stay safely, but it was a bit nerve-wracking.
I would feel more comfortable if the process went a little more smoothly."
