Location of this hotel is very good but downside is the direction for the carpark is a mess! They don’t have drop-off space for driver, the only indication for parking is inside the lift lobby at 1/F while reception is at the 4/F! Parking fee is fair though, room is clean but the bathroom is a little bit old and small! For price wise it’s not bad!

元東急インだったこともあり、建物は古かったが内装はしっかりしていて清潔感があり過ごしやすかった。 朝食には鶏めしや、明太子とトラフグの皮の酢の物が毎日出ていた。美味しい。 ビュッフェ会場は港が見え、朝日が心地よかった。 トイレはウォームレット&ウォシュレットで快適。シャワーはノブ式で温度調節も簡単だった。 また下関を訪れる機会があれば、利用したい。
