The staff were very nice. However, the hotel itself was somewhat rundown and older. The rooms were tiny and there was no place to store anything. It felt like we were staying in a tiny RV or trailer. The good thing is it was close to the train station. The breakfast was OK. I feel we paid too much for the room, as we looked it up the day we checked in and the rooms were about half the price of what we had paid. To use the tiny bathroom, you had to step up over a threshold, which was about 10 inches tall, which was inconvenient and dangerous.

It was a great place to stay. The room was clean and spacious by Japanese standards. The bed was very comfortable as were the pillows and the duvet. The location was only a couple of blocks from the train station with shopping and restaurants. Great place to stay! Enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and stay again.
