My husband was attending a conference at the adjacent conference center. I wasn't sure what to expect of this hotel from reading reviews. Overall the hotel is "no frills" but I truly enjoyed my stay. The weather was lovely, so I opened the window at times to enjoy the air. Since it was not very hot outside, I did not miss AC which some reviewers mentioned as an issue. The only breakfast offered was a Japanese style breakfast and it was delicious! Always a fish and rice. Always miso soup with various toppings and always some form of seaweed. there were pickled veggies of all sorts depending on the morning. And often another form of protein such as beef or chicken or eggs as a side dish. Tea and coffee was great and all the juices. I absolutely loved the breakfasts and it filled me up until dinner time. Choose one of the larger sized rooms. Ours was on the small side but due to the thoughtful layout, it worked quite well for the two of us. The water pressure of the shower was fantastic and bath salts are provided if one likes baths. The bed, carpet and furnishings are outdated but in perfect condition and we found the mattress quite comfortable. One of the pillows was a traditional Japanese style which I tried and slept extremely well using it! It was easy to walk to everything using the bicycle path and I enjoyed the tree lined walk to the train station. I would definitely stay again!
