If you are Japanese this is a very nice hotel with a hassle free self checkin. Avoid room 101 because you will be awaken whenever a guest on the upper floors drains their tub. If you hold a foreign passport look for another hotel. I will spare you the problems I had getting mine to them. Just look for a hotel with a human at the front desk. Good advice throughout Japan.

Clean and well looked after. Beds were a bit hard to sleep on and confusing instructions regarding disposal of garbage. Shower/bathing area excellent.

Loved that the room was extremely spacious and clean and that the beds were very comfortable. However it was very cold in the room with not much insulation so we definitely had to layer up to stay warm even with the heater on.

内装はとても良く、満足でしたが、清掃に入っていただけませんでした。また、レンジがなかったです。清掃の札を下げておいたのに、何故清掃に入っていただけなかったのか不思議です。ただ、内装が可愛く、清潔感もあったので全体的には良いです。周りも不便という程ではなかったです。
