Decent Stay at a Central Location

big room functional bathroom central location cigarette smell elevator smell cluttered entrance

The room was big. It felt spacious for all my belongings. The bathroom was really nice and functional. I liked the location because it was close to shops.

The lobby smelled like cigarettes often. Elevators also smelled like that. There was lots of luggage in the entrance, so it looked cluttered.

convenient location helpful staff spacious room dusty room lacking cleanliness no room cleaning

The location was very convenient , with easy access to transportation and nearby attractions. The staff members were helpful. I liked that the room was spacious for a Japanese hotel and could accommodate luggage.

The cleanliness was lacking , as I found dust on the window frame and carpet. I was itchy the two nights I was there because of the dust. The room was never cleaned , even when I asked.
