"This is a hotel that truly deserves the word 'stay' in its name. If you view a hotel as a place to rest and recharge, it is a fantastic choice. The overall atmosphere is quiet, calm, and peaceful. While the general areas were tidy, some details like the dusty under of the beds were a bit disappointing.

The hotel has a modern feel, friendly staff, coin washing machine and dryer; and essential toiletries that made our stay far more pleasant. The room is tiny, but ok for a few days. One disappointing part is that they don’t provide luggage delivery service (takkyubin). It’s within walking distance to a train station or bus stops.

The hotel is nice, but the staff must improve the job. I worked as hotel receptionist for a long time and seeing people don’t welcoming you and don’t say neither good morning or making a smile is really bad. Apart Sakamoto san, very nice and kind person whi speak a good English, the other staff was not good. Not satisfied at all.

最寄り駅からも近く、コンビニもあるため、立地条件は良いかと思う。 スタッフも明るく丁寧な対応してくれしました。 設備は可もなく不可もなく、スタンダードです。冷蔵庫は少し小さいかな。 トータル、価格から考えると全然ありかと思います。

シンプルでとても滞在しやすいです。荷物はタグをつけて預かってもらえます。館内には電子レンジやアメニティバイキングで歯ブラシや髭剃りなどが置いてあります。部屋には使い捨てスリッパが2足。エレベーターは早く、全体的に新しい設備です。大宮駅から徒歩で来れます。部屋には冷蔵庫やテレビ完備。何よりシャワーの水圧が非常に強くて快適。絶対におススメです！
エントランスは小さめですがアメニティバイキングがありコンパクトに必要な機能がまとめられています。スタッフの方の対応もいいです！
水圧がとにかく強いシャワー。2階に宿泊したので低層階だからかも知れませんが、今まで宿泊した中で最強の水圧で快適です！
別途は普通です。あまり開きませんが窓もあります！
