"The location is very good as you can talk to the JR station in 7 or 8 minutes, or less. The area is surrounded by various choices of restaurants, and making the only problem as there are way too many restaruants to choose from. The room is clean and comfortable. It would be nicer is the staff is more welcoming, but it is only a minor issue,"
