Extremely kind staff at front desk and restaurant. Breakfast is a major to do, staffed well, stocked well with Japanese and Western eats. Sooooo good! Coin operated laundey is convenient (doesn’t dry well, though). Rooms are well appointed and spacious. What is not to love? Oh, no gym, but why? The area is great for walking and running.
