The location is perfect for getting around town, there’s a bus right in front of the hotel, the rooms have everything you need minus a microwave, but there is one on the 7 floor for use. Room cleaning is every 3 days. Overall no issues

Great stay

Stayed here for 2 nights with my wife and the only complaint Inhad were the housekeepers smoking near our room while doing the room cleanings, my wife is especially sensitive to cigarette smoke and this was stated during booking so she was quite annoyed to have the cigarette smoke coming into our room in a non smoking floor. Other than that the place was a great value, clean and in a great location for visiting the local sites. The hotel has a deal with some local parking lots, you purchase a parking pass from them and it costs just 800Y per exit, unfortunately no in and out privileges. I liked they provided umbrellas when needed. Overall I would stay again when I'm in town.
