fantastic stay close to everything!

easy walkconvenient locationgreat find
this hotel is seriously close to the train station! the walk from the main north entrance was super easy, even with my roller bag. i loved how easy it was to catch buses, subways, and local trains every day (talk about convenient!). plus, the izakaya on the second floor of the building towards the station was a great find.
The air conditioning felt a bit off. I couldn't quite get the room as cool as i wanted it.
Dining

i found an izakaya located on the second floor of the building near the station, it's super handy for a quick bite or a relaxed evening drink. the hotel also offers free coffee, tea, and juices in the restaurant area from noon until midnight.

helpful staffclean roomsconvenient locationbathroom smell
The staff were very helpful with our luggage transfer to our next destination. I found the rooms clean and stocked with all necessities. The hotel's proximity to the station made travel seamless.
I noticed the air conditioning needed over an hour to become fully effective. There was a detectable smell in the bathroom. I suspect mold or back flow was the source.
