Perfect location on the Walk to get into Universal early and back to your room at the end of a long day. Great breakfast buffet. Loads of eating options on the walk for dinner. Also a great location to walk to the ferry terminal to go across to the aquarium and Ferris wheel.

Liked the traditional Japanese home. However the hotel is a bit cramped (possible same across Kyoto) - the room overall is big, but the number of doors/small enclosures make it feel cramped.
