The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-located to access both the station (15 minute walk), the fish market (across the street), and the old parts of town (15 minute walks). The hotel staff are very helpful and speak adequate English. The rooms are on the smaller side, which is normal in Japan, and if you have a lot of luggage, you may find it a bit tricky to find space to put it and to get into it. The hotel offers a laundry area so I recommend that you pack light and just plan to do laundry if you plan a longer trip. They (as well as the other 4 properties at which we stayed) also provide large, refillable (i.e. not single use) bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and hand wash so you can save suitcase space by not packing those toiletries. The property also offers some queen sized beds if, like my husband, you are very tall or, as in my case, very pregnant. My favorite feature of this property was the deep soaking tub; however, as the shower is in the tub, you may have a bit of trouble getting into and out of it if you suffer mobility problems (particularly hip or knee issues).
