Nice hotel

Property is very very close to the station. Which is handy especially after a long day of walk. Breakfast is very limited and not worth of 1000 yen. We just got few things from family mart opposite to the hotel. Got daily towels changed. Overall nice stay

Very convenient location for transportation options. Japanese style room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast had a solid range of options but might not be good value for vegetarian guests. Free drinks in the lobby is a nice addition!

Excellent overall for the price! Convenient, clean and quiet. Does the job. Fantastic breakfast service for only 1000 yen that was better than many restaurants we went to Only thing that bothered me was that there is only one very cramped elevator so you are often crammed inside of it or waiting for a while before it clears up. There are stairs however

I am nit picking here but, there is only one elevator for a 10 building hotel. So if you have someone with a handicap or wheelchair it is difficult and takes a long time especially during peak hours and check in/out times. Lastly, the closest smoking section is about 3 blocks away, so that was a big inconvenience.
