Female・Taiwan・Couple (married couple)

The accommodations were comfortable, and the shopping was convenient, but due to the hard-packed snow, finding places to eat was a bit challenging.

The price, cleanliness, comfortable rooms, relaxing atmosphere of the large public bath, and convenient dining options were all great
