super friendly staff larger room noisy air conditioner window solution
The staff was super friendly. The size of the room was larger than expected in Japan.
The air conditioner made A lot of noises when turned on and also when turned off. Their solution was to open the window at night, cold and lets noise get in from outside or to wear earplugs. This wasn't ideal.
