Spacious Renovated Rooms!

I was pleasantly surprised by the spaciousness of our Group & Family room in the Annex building. Newly renovated with modern fittings, it smelled wonderfully of new wood. The clever design features a communal area, a tatami section, and a room with three single beds, comfortably accommodating our party of six.

Delectable Buffet Selections

The dining experience at the hotel was great! I was particularly impressed with the buffet dinner, where dishes were prepared fresh at various stations. The continually available salad and the inclusion of drinks made it an enjoyable meal. Definitely one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had too!
