The hotel was clean and offered a comfortable stay, but the room was quite cramped for two people with luggage. I noticed an unpleasant smell from the restaurant, which was a bit off-putting. The service was friendly but had some flexibility issues with check-in times. Additionally, the location worked well for me as it was close to the bus station and city center, although it was somewhat far from popular sightseeing spots.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, which is conveniently located not too far from the main attractions. The room was larger than I expected for Japan, providing a decent amount of space. The staff was extremely polite and professional, making me feel welcome throughout my stay. The dining options, however, were somewhat repetitive and could use more variety. Overall, it offers good value for the price, but I did wish for a bit more in terms of breakfast choices.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, I found the rooms to be quite small and cramped, making it a bit uncomfortable for two people. The location was decent as it was close to the tram station, which made getting around easier, but it required some navigation to find my way around the area. Overall, the hotel offers good service but could improve a lot with their room sizes and amenities.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was conveniently close to the tram stop and various shopping areas, which made getting around easy. The rooms, however, felt cramped due to the extra furniture and had some outdated features like yellowish towels in the bathroom. On the plus side, the dining experience provided a decent Japanese breakfast, though it might not appeal to everyone. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there’s definitely room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, being so close to shopping and dining, which I loved. However, the room I stayed in was smaller than I anticipated and quite noisy, especially with a baby nearby. The staff were nice, but their service wasn't as great as I've experienced in other places. Overall, I think there are better options out there if you want a quieter stay.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the rooms were surprisingly spacious, almost double what I've seen elsewhere, and the location was super convenient with easy access to shopping and dining. On the downside, the cleanliness could definitely use some improvement, and the dining options felt a bit uninspired. Overall, it’s a fair spot if you want space and location but don’t expect too much in terms of atmosphere or dining variety.
