Staff and Guests
The staff were all very polite.
Many of the guests were young. I did not see any foreign guests due to Covid 19, but I would think that there would be more foreigners in the future.

Summary
I had a nice stay at “HOTEL ANTEROOM NAHA.” It just opened, so it is a new, clean and comfortable hotel. The concept room on the 2nd floor which I stayed in had a high ceiling making the room feel spacious. In addition, the design was stylish, yet very functional. There are not many hotels in Naha with a view of the ocean, so it is very attractive that all rooms at this hotel have a view of the ocean. I highly recommend staying here.
