Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were more spacious than other places I've stayed in Japan, which was great for my family, but they tended to be very warm, almost to the point of feeling overheated. While one bed was comfortable, the rollout loveseat was not ideal. The hotel itself is quite big with great amenities and a nice bathroom with a tub.
