"As everywhere in Japan, staffs are alway accommodating and very helpful. Location is excellent as everything is close. It is also very roomy for the price. With that being said, this hotel room is pretty old. Carpets are old and dirty that you have to wear inner slippers to go around. Curtains are dusty so watch out when you open them up to view outside.
I wouldn’t choose this hotel next time with a kid who likes to walk around bare foot. But overall, I can’t really complain."

We got a triple room with a standard queen size bed and the sofa turned into a twin bed but there was still enough room to place a large open suitcase on the floor. The beds were comfortable. There were also self laundry facilities and vending machines on...
"Nice hotel with parking for a fee. They also have a restaurant downstairs which can be convenient for some passengers. Only complaint would have been the shower situation with the shower head not adjustable."
