We really liked the location and the Japanese vibe of the hotel was very nice! The bathroom facilities were excellent. We booked a premium king room and it was too hard for us as 65+ aged customers to crawl in and out of the bed. We would just caution other travelers to be aware of this situation. Otherwise we had a great experience!
