Comfortable and Hospitable

Hotel was extremely close to the Japan Railways Train Station. Room was larger than I expected. They gave me a coupon for free rice curry each night I was there. A Shopping Mall with restaurants next door made eating out convenient.

Loved it! So clean and what a great location (just next door to JR station). There are two adjacent shopping malls, Daiso is nearby, food options aplenty. The front desk staff are super professional and go over and beyond by thinking about the customer's needs. There is a free curry rice dinner service as long as you are a hotel guest (whoa!). There is no microwave oven in the hotel, but if you bring your food to the front desk they will heat it for you!
