Awful in summer

Needed to stay here because of work. Even with the air-conditioning set to 19 for the entire night, the lowest the room temperature got was 27. It was difficult to sleep and the hotel staff were quite rude. I don't recommend going here unless you absolutely have to

Good hotel at a reasonable price

Spacious room. Good breakfast service (but not buffet). Good free bicycle service (the tires were a bit soft though). No usb charging ports in room. Wifi was acceptable. Lots of restaurants near the hotel.

The hotel is located along a shopping street. This means easy access to food and shopping. We drove and had easy access to the carpark. We found the coin operated washing machines useful during the stay too. The rooms are clean and pleasant. The lobby area is a little small, but given that the staff services are fast and efficient, it didn't pose a problem.

Very good hotel with free parking, which is a bonus in Japan. The hotel is located about 2km away from the main sightseeing attractions which was the only downside.
