I was impressed with their politeness and the hotel was fairly clean. Nara is a good place to stay, relatively close to Osaka and Kyoto, but far less crowded. Local nara sights good. You are a short walk from important stations.

The hotel has a beautiful waterfall inside and has some unique aspects for a hotel. The hotel is dated but meets the need for a stay. It is out of the way and not as easy to get to using public transportation as we had thought. The staff was kind and helpful.
