A decent 3 star hotel very close to the train station. I am not sure if it was worth the price given the quality of the room, breakfast etc.

I've stayed at the Aobadai Forum Hotel 50 or 60 times over the years, initially due to business trips, more recently for personal travel. It's a decent enough hotel, but as rates have increased dramatically, amenities and service have declined. The Forum used to offer a room/breakfast package that included a nice breakfast at the in-hotel restaurant. Now, one has to pay for a fixed "morning" menu of a tiny salad, coffee and toast, not worth the cost. In today's connected world, the biggest problem is the Forum has the worst internet service of any place we've stayed in Japan recently. If you are on business and need internet and don't have mobile access, find another hotel as the Forum's service is terrible.

I've stayed here half a dozen times over the past decade. It's an European style older building that is showing some wear but I find it very comfortable. Rooms are spacious (even in American standards) for one person. …
