Best rooms

Request a room on a higher floor (above the 5th floor) for a quieter stay, as the hotel's location in Yamaguchi means that lower floors may be susceptible to street noise from the main road. Additionally, if you can secure a room on the west side, you'll have a better view of the surrounding area.

Consider requesting a room on a higher floor (above the 5th floor) to minimize potential street noise from the nearby roads. The hotel has 8 floors and a lift, which should be efficient but may be a source of noise, especially during peak hours.

Rooms to avoid

Avoid rooms near the service entrance and lift on lower floors, as these areas tend to be noisier due to foot traffic and elevator usage.

Rooms near the lift, such as those on floors 1-3, may experience more noise from the lift's operation and potentially from the service entrance.
