The room was nice and quiet and I loved the area around it as I could walk to almost everywhere. I only wished they were a little more flexible with check-in times as they made everyone wait 3pm for check-in saying that no rooms were ready before. I think having a check-in time is important but I also appreciated that most hotels in Japan give out rooms when they are ready for a better guest experience. You could get a coffee out of the coffee machine in the lobby as you waited but you have to pay for it which I found unusual.

Hotel and staff were both great. They helped us and they were kind. Rooms are wide and relaxing ! The only bad points were shaver's quality and toothbrush's quality! Brush was too hard. I can not use it. Bringing your own brush is a must. And the beard shaving razor was very bad. You can not cut your beard. They must change them immediately! Other than these small problems,hotel was good! I can go there again for sure!
