Review: This is a nice hotel and the resteraunt club 17 has some delicious food However i was disapointed that the pool was closed because based on the expedia advertisment that was not made clear. I would recommend the hotel make that clear in the listings because once you book a room for an entire week its very difficult to get a refund Also the gym is 3000 yen per hour and my credit cards didnt work at this hotel so i had to use a gym several blocks away

Review: Marketed as a 4 start hotel however the rooms are badly in need of renovation. Request was made to change room we were assigned as the advised superior room was very tired. Damaged furniture, badly scratched TV and large scuffs on the walls. Wasn't expected from a 4 star stay. Disappointed with the amount paid.

Review: "Outstanding hotel with very courteous and friendly staff. The rooms and breakfast were excellent. We were most impressed with the outstanding spa in the hotel - we got a massage and facial, and got five star service from the therapists. Highly recommended !! We also got fantastic service at the rooftop bar, but sadly due to bad weather, the outdoor part was closed. The hotel location is perfect - all the action is in walking distance, but not too close to be noisy. This was our best hotel stay...
