"Modern, clean, well-thought-out in layout of rooms and hotel. Centrally located. Staff were very helpful and kind, especially Yotaro for check in and Mon Myat Thu in the restaurant, (who saw me with my Matcha powder in the breakfast buffet and promptly offered to make me a Matcha latte!). Great breakfast buffet. Best hotel experience we’ve had in years! We’ll look for other locations should we return to Japan."
