- Limited on-site amenities — There is no swimming pool, fitness center, or spa, and the property does not offer parking. Guests looking for extensive facilities may be disappointed.
- Breakfast may not suit all tastes — One guest rated their stay 6/10, citing the traditional Japanese breakfast as a point of contention, though others enjoyed it.
