Stayed here a night on our last pit stop. This hotel is really pretty on the inside. The rooms are very tastefully done. Size was small but they made it work with the layout. The best thing and I have never seen this in any other hotel, was, they had a foot massage in the room to massage your feet after a day of intense walking and for ladies, a hair curler is provided as well to style your hair. Check in was a breeze with the staff being able to speak good English. The only down side would be the toilet bowl circumference seems smaller than other other Japanese toilet bowls. I mean, it still works but I'm just nitpicking at this point. Also, the hotel is so popular and the turn over rate is so high that maybe the cleaning can be a bit on the poorer side. We found stains left on the sofa and walls at the sitting area in which you use the foot massager. Apart from that. Everything else was clean and nice. Location is good and close to the train station as well. There is conbini close by the hotel. Plenty of eateries like Ippudo, coco curry, pepper lunch and Macdonald ' s within minutes from the hotel.
