Acceptable location, some disappointments

convenient locationlimited moisturiserpoor breakfast selection
The location was quite convenient, close to transport links.
The room cleaning wasn't thorough. Dust was noticeable. The hotel only provides a small amount of moisturiser, and they would not replenish it. The breakfast selection was basic and underwhelming, the tea and coffee were particularly disappointing for what i expected in Japan.

my beautiful twin room was spacious, this made it easy to relax after a long day. the on-site public bath was a treat, i really enjoyed it. i liked the free drinks in the lobby, a nice touch indeed.
the air conditioning was difficult to adjust, it was either too cold or too warm. the breakfast was expensive, i found better options nearby. i found very few amenities in the room, i had to ask for more.
