Ok, so this is a very nice hotel, perhaps nicer than I'm used to. The staff was attentive and helpful, and the room was quite nice. I'm knocking a star off due to despite being a paying guest, I was barred from the onsen for having a tattoo. I get that this is Japan and a lot of onsens dont allow it, but I guess I figured it would be different since you're paying to stay there. Just something for future travelers to consider if you were hoping to take advantage of the spa/onsen services for some unwind time.

It is in the newer section of Kyoto so there are plenty of shopping opportunities. It takes a little twisting around in different trains, but it is not that far from the main Kyoto station. They’re also a lot of food available on the side streets. It feels a lot more open than the older section of Kyoto so we enjoyed that spacious feeling- although modern architecture isn’t our thing. it’s a big hotel, lots of tourists but really well run. The staff was super kind and helped us print out our ballots and mail them very much appreciated.
