I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was small but offered a reasonable view over the train station to the water. It was adequate for one person and luggage. The service was friendly overall, but the attempted room entry with no warning was a bit unsettling. The location was convenient, being right next to the train station, although the noise levels were noticeable. The dining options were decent, with a good mix of Japanese and Western items. The facilities were satisfactory but could use some improvement. The value for money was acceptable considering the central location.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were well-insulated, so I couldn't hear the trains, but they felt somewhat crowded when breakfast started at 6:30. The rooms were pretty tight and dark, and there was a strange smell coming from the air vent of the air conditioning unit.

I found the hotel to be a convenient choice with a great location just across from the station in the heart of the city. The rooms, although needing a bit of a facelift, are well insulated and provide a quiet stay. The service was friendly and efficient despite the language barrier, and the dining options, offering both Japanese and Western choices, were satisfactory. Overall, a solid value for money stay.

I had a cozy single room with a clean comfy bed, a desk, fridge, small closet, and a compact all-in-one bathroom. The room was small but had a reasonable view over the train station to the water. The hotel's position makes it a breeze to reach the JR station and bus stop right across the road. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the room service tried to enter without warning, which was surprising.

I stayed at the hotel and found it to be a good choice overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, with a good size, perfect for foreign tourists. However, some areas could use a bit of a facelift.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were well-insulated, keeping the noise from the trains outside to a minimum, although they felt a bit tight and dark. Surprisingly, the room remained warm despite the heavy snowfall outside. However, the room size was too small for us to sleep comfortably on the floor.

I must say, my stay at this hotel was quite a mixed experience. On the upside, the rooms are well-insulated, so you can't really hear the trains, which is a big plus for a good night's sleep. However, the room size was a bit on the smaller side, which could feel a bit cramped. The service, on the other hand, was top-notch with a professional and warm approach from the staff. The location was superb, just across the street from the train and bus station, making it extremely convenient to access various tourist spots. Sadly, the dining options were limited to basic buffet-style meals, not recommended for those looking to explore Japanese cuisine extensively.
