Slightly more catered for Japanese than foreigners, and really geared to younger families. No food services, including room service, after 10pm. Within 600m there is a Lawsons and 711 that stay open till 11pm. Hotel itself is clean and really practical. Value for money.
Room for four was small, no place for four luggage. Very dirty room, lots of dirt on tissue pack and dirty bed. Breakfast with limited choice compared to stay in 2018. Staff was helpful and efficient.

The hotel is next to Universal Studios Japan, a very convenient location. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Some staff’s English is limited, but they try their best to communicate. The room is spacious, I can open three suitcases and still have space to walk around the room. Overall, highly recommended this hotel.
Staff were friendly and welcoming. Rooms were clean and we had a lovely view of the ocean. Breakfast buffet was great with a variety of options. Recommended to those visiting USJ.
