The staff were awesome. Really close to station, but was in a walkable area. The only negative is the capsule doors aren't very wide, but easy enough to deal with Another guest decided to do laundry at 1 am but thats not the properties fault.

日本語を話せるスタッフもいないため何を言ってるのかわからないし、対応は悪くなかったが、 部屋に入ると臭いし、テレビもないし、歯ブラシすらない。なので息子に買いに行かせた。 部屋からすぐ外には外人さんと、スタッフの女の子がおしゃべりをしていて丸聞こえ！ 臭くて寝るにも居心地が悪くて何度も起きた！ とにかく居心地が悪くてホテルを間違えたと思った。次の日の朝はいちばんにホテルを出たくて支度をした。もう二度と利用したくない。
