Tiny, but nonetheless comfortable for cheap

This is the first time we, as foreigners, stayed in a Japanese business hotel. It was smaller than we are used to, for sure, but it was in the location we wanted and was in our price range (about $60/night). Despite being small (estimate a 8 x 7 room + small bathroom), it was comfortable and quiet. The carpet was stained, but otherwise, it seemed clean. The free breakfast was carb-heavy, but yummy, and the staff was very courteous and friendly. We would probably try to stay somewhere else if we were in the area again, but only to try and find a larger place. We would stay here again if needed.

コストパフォーマンスの高い宿

シングルルームに宿泊。部屋は極小であるが、出張であれば特に不満はない。それよりも価格の割にホテルの位置が絶妙に良くて、移動するにも（桜町バスターミナルに行く、市電に乗る）、買い物するにも、食事をするにも大変便利です。だからリーズナブルに感じます。
