The hotel was clean and nice. The location was great. Right by the main station. The hotel was “under renovation” but that did not impact us at all. The spa are was super clean and nice. The room was small but typical for Japan.

Exactly why you would expect from this type of Japanese hotel - clean, efficiently run with typically compact rooms. What stood out were the thermal baths, the extensive buffet breakfast (included in the price) and its location next to the main station - ideal for transport connections.

Basic hotel with all the essentials provided. Highly recommended if you just need a hotel for staying over at night. Excellent location with a 7-11 round the corner and a minute’s walk from the station. We did not book breakfast as there are plenty of choices outside.

Location is good. Room is clean. Public bath is nice. Male staff are all helpful. 2 of the female staff failed to help in terms of check-in process, luggage storage and direction of teamLab location. Otherwise, the hotel is generally good and worth to stay again.

The first room I was booked in had a terribly funky odor. Thankfully the staff was understanding, investigated, and provided me with a new room. The breakfast buffet is nice with a lot of options. And the public bath is also nice, but can get a little over crowded with the limited size and amount of guests, even on a weekday at midnight. The ventilation/air was very dirty, it looks like the filters don't get cleaned often and are very dusty.
