Great solo stay
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room, ideal for 1 person. Bed comfy, very hard pillow but other than that no complaints. 5 minute walk from a subway station and 1 stop to main station so ideal for getting around.

必要なものはすべてある宿
朝食と夕食の2食が無料で付いており、大変に驚きました。忙しくて外で夕食を撮る暇がなかったので、有り難かったです。 また、大浴場とサウナもあり、夜と朝に利用しました。コンビニはローソンが隣接しており大変便利でした。必要なものはすべて揃っているビジネスホテルでした。
