It was fine for two nights, but like all Japanese hotel rooms it’s super small, more suitable for one person as we were 2, and with suitcase we were on top of each other. That being said, at least the room had a window and the room was super clean

素泊まりでお値段的に少々高く感じますが、今の日本の物価高値上げから見て仕方なしかと。部屋に入った瞬間に漂う、おそらく人の体臭のような、もしくは経年染み付いた異臭はいただけませんでしたね。朝に戴こうと思っていたロビーのコーヒーが使えなかったのも残念でした。従業員の接客ば心地良かったのです。

駅前で部屋が3階だったので夜中に外で騒いでいる声が少し気になりましたが、眠れないほどではなかったです。
