Loved the onsen. Hardly ever anyone there when I went. The breakfast was good but same menu for do many nights I stayed, however nothing opens early so do the hotel breakfast. Pancake restaurant very close opens at 11am good. Skip the okonamiaki and taki ball place on the corner... All undercooked. The bars in alley right next to hotel entrance had good skewers. Go to the one up the stairs on the right for best food and nice bartenders. The hotel had very kind and helpful staff. Rooms were exceptionally clean as was onsen. 2 washers not enough so I did laundry very early in the morning. Enjoyed the stay very much.

Exceptional hotel in an amazing location.

We loved this hotel! The service was wonderful, the breakfast was amazing, and even though the rooms are on the small side, they were well appointed and highly functional. Having onsite laundry was incredibly helpful. The location was very convenient for accessing the trains to everything we wanted to see & do. I cannot stress enough the appreciation I have for their cleanliness standards. Their housekeeping works very hard and pays attention to every detail. There is an incredible tiki bar across the street (KRFT) and wonderful food everywhere. It is VERY quiet even though the neighborhood is bustling with tons to do. I hope I have the chance to stay here again and would recommend it for everyone.
