Wendy J. C. Couples - 5/23/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Our stay at Saga Karatsu was an absolute pleasure. Kind, respectful staff who really went out of their way to make our experience fabulous! Loved the extra space and the opportunity to experience western/japanese room. Breakfast was a banquet…Konto was a wonderful man who really went the extra mile. He turned our breakfast banquet into an Extravaganza! Shuttle service was an absolute bonus too (It meant that I got to shop😜) Afternoon and evening drinks and snacks were much welcomed. The Mercure Hospitality really did shine! This opportunity is great because it allows us to enjoy the company of others. It really enhanced our stay!
