Amenity choices are wide. The frontdesk staff is super polite and efficient. The location and parking area is closed to main train station which is very convenient. The parking fee is ¥800 which is even lower than some smaller city. Good deal!

Comfortable stay though room was quite small. The breakfast was incredible and has a very wide selection - the best breakfast options we had on our trip. Very convenient location just outside the station.
