"This time, I stayed in a suite room on the 10th floor for two nights.
Almost all the staff are foreigners, but they all work hard and can speak and understand Japanese almost normally, so there was no problem because they were foreigners.
However, the curtain in the large public bath is still dirty, and I was surprised that it had been dirty for five weeks and had not been washed, probably because the hotel's executives were not on patrol.
The carpet on the floor was also dirty and worn, and this is because it was left to deteriorate over time, but it is a state that cannot be found in a first-class hotel, and it is a shame that they have foreign staff who work hard.
*This may be the same everywhere, but this time I encountered a male staff member slacking off again.
When I went to the large public bath at 9 o'clock after breakfast, a male staff member was sitting on a chair and playing.
When they saw me, they would hurriedly clean up, but last week, a staff member got naked, took his smartphone and went to the open-air bath and talked while bathing, so it seems that male staff members have a habit of slacking off.
*There are sauna mats provided, but after checking in I went to the large public bath early to use the sauna, and found a large number of used mats there.
They were still there in the same state in the morning, and I thought they probably hadn't been properly washed, so I didn't use the sauna.
It seems that executives should be patrolling the area."
