i appreciated that the hotel provides luggage storage before check-in and after check-out the staff were helpful throughout my stay they even contacted a company about my shipped sunglasses when they didn't arrive. i also loved the daily amenity package it included clean towels a yukata tea coffee and more.

Mixed feelings about this hotel
acceptable locationclose locationlimited spacesmall room
The location was acceptable, close to the train station.
The room size was a PROBLEM. There was barely enough space to open my suitcase. The limited space significantly impacted the comfort of my stay, and I do EXPECT better.

some issues but ok
small roomcentral air conditioning
my room was so small, almost couldn't open my suitcase. it was really cramped. and i didn't like that the air conditioning was centrally controlled. i had to open the window and the street noise kept me awake. plus, finding coffee or tea was impossible, they weren't available in the hotel and only got them when new towels arrived.

the staff was helpful from beginning to end of my stay. amenities included clean towels, a clean yukata, tea, coffee, sugar, cotton pads, and q-tips, i liked this. the hotel is located a 10-minute walk from the station, this was mostly flat.
the top of the fridge had a thick layer of dust, which i didnt like. there were scraps of tissues under the bed, i cleared it eventually. the shower curtain smelled really musty, it bothered me.

The onsen was a true highlight. I used the washing machines and the drinks vending machines. They were useful. The room was clean and the availability of films in English on the television was a definite plus.
The walls seemed thin, and I could hear some noise from other rooms.
