My stay at the hotel was a great experience overall. The room was comfortable and spacious, although the bathroom was a bit small. The service was excellent with a nice touch of complimentary drinks and a delicious breakfast. The location was perfect, just across from the JR main station, making it convenient to explore the city. The dining options were good, especially the Japanese dishes. However, the room can get warm even with the air conditioning on.

I stayed at this hotel during my trip and had a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious but in a somewhat dilapidated condition. The staff's politeness was commendable, however, compared to other modern Japanese hotels, improvements could be made. The service was good and helpful, and I appreciated the attentive response to my requests. The location was convenient for a one-night stay, being very close to the JR main station, but lacking the lively restaurant area atmosphere. As for the dining options, while they cater to picky Western tastes with some suitable choices, I had to travel a bit for more variety. The facilities were adequate, offering what one should expect, though not exceptional. Overall, the stay provided a decent value for money proposition.
