The room is pretty decent and casual. The hotel’s location is very good. The staff are very nice and accommodating. But I hope the management pays more attention to the cleanliness of the room. Our room that time was not the best. The room smells bad and it feels like the room is dusty. You can’t see it by eyes, but if you look around, you can easily spot something.

The breakfast was extremely bland, to the point where I simply opted to buy breakfast somewhere else. I also don't particularly ...

No view from room as the only window is frosted glass. Close to sakuragawa station although the station is very large. Sometimes the train will drop you off close and sometimes about 3-4 blocks away. Good if you're on a budget but there are much ...
