"A somewhat luxary experience at a reasonable price. We enjoyed the free ice cream and drinks numerous times. There was a free craft where we painted wind chimes, a nod to a local wind chime festival, that the family loved and made great souvenirs. For the most part everything in the room was great and comfortable. The location is mostly very good but the 5-10 minute walk to the train station does get repetitive, but it's good value for the money and everything you want for food is nearby. I liked the double sink bathroom.
I have a few suggestions for improvement. These are just nitpicks, overall really liked the hotel.
- the 4 bed room is really a 2 bed room with the cots set up, which is fine, it's still spacious enough for Japan. But there was only 2 hooks for towels when there is a lot of wall space in the bathroom. Should be at least 4 hooks if it's sometimes a 4 bed room.
- the TV based system for room cleaning is silly. Our room got cleaned when we asked for it not to be, and they had a laminated apology note indicating it happens a lot. Just stick to the note on the door system then; if it's not broken you can't fix it.
- the light in the toilet was an automatic sensor, but when you get up in the middle of the night you don't want a full bright light... again it's a case of the hotel doing too much to its own detriment."
