Comfort Hotel Nagoya Kanayama
More of the western style setup but still a compact business hotel for the Japanese. It was very close to Kanayama station, tons of food options for every taste, and a Aeon mall with reasonable walking distance. Only complaint I had to adjust to was the noise, it is a busy area until late at night ...
