Small hotel with a handful of rooms, mine was well laid out with kitchenette, laundry facilities, tub/shower, two beds & sofa, all looked very clean. No housekeeping provided, which is fine if expected. My room was by street but not too much traffic noise. On bus line with stop immediately at the door. General impression: the hotel was constructed by professionals experienced in developing hotels but is now run by well-intentioned staff not very familiar with the hotel business, which showed in various ways: my room had no towels at all, there was a long hair on the bathtub plug chain, & the toilet seat bottom was totally yellow with urine, like someone had peed all over it with the seat up. Front desk only staffed 7-11am & 4-9pm, but nobody for check-in at 5PM, but that clerk later phoned & made dinner reservations, much appreciated. The other clerks were more awkward in customer relations. I couldn't get hot bath water & found that they use on-demand water heating, which is fine if you expect that, but no instructions provided. I asked at the desk & was given a tiny useless form. (My fault for not knowing Japanese, but future guests should know the challenges.) I downloaded a manual & used Google translate, but it was frustrating. To leave my bags after checkout cost ¥1000 but couldn't get them until 4:00pm, which didn't help me. I think the employees are well-meaning but they need more experience to make their guests' stays more pleasant. Sorry for criticism.
