The rooms were clean and spacious. The toilet, sink, and shower are all in a straight line, which is a bit inconvenient. The staff will serve you courteously. The coffee and towel service was also good. This is an easy-to-use hotel located near Ikuta Shrine, with many restaurants nearby.

I used this location because it was close to where I was visiting on a business trip.Although the building was older, it was clean, and I think it was a coincidence that the room was a twin, so it was spacious.As for the location, it is near the entertainment district, so we were approached by many touts before check-in late at night.

Maybe it can't be helped because the facility is old.There are clearly some areas that are peeling off, so I guess it's at the level of normal repair.That's a bit disappointing.Everything else felt like a normal business hotel.

The convenience was very good, but everything else felt like a normal hotel. As the check-out time approached, I was a little concerned about the noise and conversation of the cleaning staff. Unfortunately, the parking lot next to the hotel has height restrictions, so if you can't park there, the parking lot will be a little far away from the hotel.
