Great place. We got lucky and we're the only people there due to it being off season. Amazing staff, speak good enough English, and helped us get taxis multiple times, also offered luggage transfer services.

Nice, clean and large room. Very friendly staff, such a pleasure to have stayed here! The property is close to the 206 transit line and the hotel can sell you a daily bus pass for ¥700, which worked out really well. Not the most convenient location overall, but still a great place to stay.
