Although the room initially felt uncomfortable with its stuffy atmosphere and an odd view of the marina and Sakurajima volcano, I eventually adjusted and found it quite homey during my 10-day stay. The hotel staff was very helpful, and the breakfast buffet had decent options, but the limited dining during the typhoon was a major downside. Overall, it had its flaws, but it worked for my needs.

Initially, my stay was a bit rocky due to the stuffy room and limited air conditioning, but I eventually warmed up to it, and it felt like a home away from home. The hotel staff were helpful, but the dining options, especially during Typhoon Khanun, left much to be desired. The views, on the other hand, were spectacular, especially of Sakurajima volcano, which made some of the downsides more bearable.

At first, I was not thrilled with my stuffy room and the odd view of the marina and Sakurajima volcano. However, over time the hotel started to feel like home, especially since it was convenient for my daily activities. The breakfast buffet offered plenty of food, but the lack of alternatives during Typhoon Khanun was disappointing. While the hotel has some perks, such as friendly staff, the experience could have been better overall.
