the location was awesome. the staff were wonderful. rooms were very comfortable. staff arranged breakfast boxes for us one morning. we were leaving on a day tour before the restaurant opened. this was much appreciated.

i didn't like the strict 3 pm check-in. we arrived at 2 pm. before even checking our reservation, we were told to just leave our bags and come back later. the layout of the room was a bit awkward with the bathroom sink in the main room! the shower was not enclosed completely so water overflowed near the toilet area.

The location offered very easy access to transportation options. The front desk staff was attentive. The hotel features a complete breakfast buffet with both Japanese and western choices.

The hotel rooms offer limited storage space, inconvenient.
