  • A well-balanced breakfast gave me the energy to head to work, and the large bath helped me unwind after a long day. Despite the clean Room and convenient location, the price is reasonable. There are no excessive amenities, but all necessary services are well provided, making my business trip comfortable. They also handled taxi arrangements with great care, and I felt it was a Hotel where I could stay with peace of mind.I was also satisfied with the user-friendly in-Room features such as a TV that shows how crowded the dining area and large public bath are, as well as an air purifier.

  • It seems the Hotel has been recently renovated. Room keys are now card keys, and the elevator stops only at the top and bottom floors and your own Room floor.I also enjoyed the late-night curry after 9:00 p.m. at Saijokai Restaurant.The Room’s bathroom area and layout have been updated as well, making it very convenient to use.It may have been there for a long time, but I used the large public bath for the first time. It was clean.A Hotel with front desk staff who greet you with a smile is always nice.
