This was a very comfortable hotel in Omiya with a nice sized room and a good breakfast. The check in process is inconvenient though. We arrived at 3pm and had to pay an extra fee to check in 'early'!! Otherwise we would have to wait until 4pm even though our room was ready at 3pm. Even weirder, we were initially given keys to our room only to later be told that the reason the key wouldn't open our room door was because we had to pay extra before 4pm. All very odd...
