"Very good hotel in this city. Only few items to be desired; 1. Water supply and foucet were very old and temperature adjustment must be done by manually adjusting the opening of hot and cold water. 2. It is a bit far from the station. 1200 yen by taxi. BUt there are many restaurants within 5 to 10 minutes walk. Other than these non-issues, the hotel is well maintained, clean and staff were very friendly and polite."
