As the ending/suffix of its name "-ekimae" suiggests, the hotel is "in front of the station". Well, it may not be right in front of the station, it's very close...like 5 minutes away from it. The room is very typical APA which is a Japanese hotel chain. Given the price and locations (they are everywhere), Although there is nothing fancy about, APA Hotel has become my preferred hotel chains over the last few years.
