The hotel is at a great location, close from the castle, Kenrokuen, and Omicho Market, and also at the midpoint of the two chaya districts in the East and the West. The room was clean and spacious. However, we were a bit disappointed that the room did not have a dining table although the pictures for the Executive Room made it seem like it had one. Also, the washing machine in our room had a "do not use" sign, so we had to use the washing machine on a different floor. It seemed a bit unfair that we were paying the same price for those rooms that had a dining table and a working laundry machine. But overall, enjoyed our stay here and the staff members were friendly.
