Nice hotel

Property is very very close to the station. Which is handy especially after a long day of walk. Breakfast is very limited and not worth of 1000 yen. We just got few things from family mart opposite to the hotel. Got daily towels changed. Overall nice stay

Very convenient location for transportation options. Japanese style room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast had a solid range of options but might not be good value for vegetarian guests. Free drinks in the lobby is a nice addition!
