We stayed in the Hotel Nozomi portion. Quiet, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, very clean. Everything in the room (Nozomi 3) seemed new and is in great condition. Breakfast was included and there were a lot of choices (granola, cheese, bread, yogurt, fruit, etc). A supermarket is across the street. Walkable from the train station. Take water with you as restaurants charge for tap water. We would definitely stay again. ![On our ceiling in Nozomi 3](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/236973cc-2410-489a-a300-617e201f8573-1759572879588.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![These rooms are in a different part of the hotel from where we stayed.
