Arrived early but nobody at front door porter desk, so brought suitcase to reception but told to go back to front door and waited for person - car park only has space for about 25 vehicles and is meant for guests, but I saw non-guests park there as it's close to shops, so there is no space for guests to park - went to reception for issues on several occasions and personnel were indifferent and not helpful, so actually started to go to person at Japanese reception desk, who was helpful - parts of the bathroom were not clean on arrival - shower water pressure was low - told reception about maintenance issue with globes in wall lights at staircase near pool, but nothing done for 2 days (I left hotel so don't know when issue was fixed)
The room itself is remodeled- many employees to work on pool and grounds
