"Great location to get to many places of attractions and authentic restaurants. The hotel is also located right next to the open markets to get a quick bites all days long. Shopping malls are just one stop away by subways and it’s only cost ¥3.00. I encourage everyone should take either the subway option or local bus to get around towns and it is VERY inexpensive. And have more money to enjoy the local foods and souvenir to bring home for friends and families. "
