Pros - Opposite Takayama Station, whether it's a train or bus, it's very convenient, just cross the street to the hotel. - Staff can speak English, explain well and understand. - Clean room and bathroom, strong shower. - TV is a smart TV, good view, housekeeper comes to clean the room every day. - After checking out, you can leave your luggage. The staff will wrap it nicely with a net, with a phone number. Cons - When buying food in the room, there is no table for eating. You have to eat on the bed, afraid of spilling. - There is no place to open the luggage, you have to open it on the bed. - My friend's room smells very bad of cigarettes, no matter how much you open the window, it doesn't go away. I sprayed 2 bottles of air freshener, it didn't go away. Parking is 500 yen per day, you can park under the hotel for about 10 cars. If it's full, there's a lot of parking in the hotel's yard a little further away. #takayamahotel
