While hotel is clean, affordable, useful amenities, helpful and friendly staff, the location is not too good. Quite hard looking places to eat, and while takashimaya and mitsukoshi are nearby, their target market is somehow not for people on the budget staying in this hotel. The surrounding is quite lonely, station is a bit far. If you are alone no problem, but if you are traveling with small children or elderly, the station/shops/restaurants are kind of out of reach.
