I used it on a business trip. Unlike the so-called major hotels that are located in front of large stations, these hotels are used for a wide range of purposes, including long-term stays and student training camps. The customer service is polite and the large public bath is very nice. There is a free parking lot, there is a convenience store in front of the hotel, and it is a short walk from the station. I think it's a great place to use as a casual base. I still want to use it.

Thank you for your help on the youth sports team's expedition.It was very nice to be able to stay there for a reasonable price with two meals included.The location was good, near the station, with Welcia and Lawson nearby, relatively quiet, and free parking.The in-house coin laundry had a total of 4 vertical washing machines, 2 dryers, free detergent, and a drying rack.There are two washing areas in the large public bath, but the jet bath was good for making your skin beautiful.On the first day of our stay, there were no other female guests, so we were able to reserve the women's bath for ourselves, which was very helpful.The meals seemed to be served warm and ready-made, but since we were in a group it would be difficult to eat out, so I was very grateful to be able to eat at the inn.Also, the staff at the cafeteria were very kind and told me, ``The children are cute,'' which made me happy.The rooms were divided into four rooms: a single bed room, a Japanese-style room for two and three people, and a large hall on the 4th floor separated by sliding doors.There were a variety of rooms, including rooms with showers, rooms with just a sink, and rooms with baths and toilets.It was very helpful for the boys to be able to reserve one floor of the large hall for their own use.The only disappointing thing was that the hallway in the lobby smelled of cigarettes because smoking was allowed (though I guess this can't be helped since it's usually used by a lot of site workers).The 4th floor, which is the hottest floor, is air-conditioned throughout the building, so it was not possible to switch between heating and cooling.It was May, and it was a hot day with a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.There was no air conditioning, and even with the windows open, it was still hot, and many of the children were bitten by mosquitoes.Overall, it was a compact inn that was very flexible for a group trip with children, such as providing ice for water bottles and letting you reserve a private bath.With good access to Tokyo, this accommodation is recommended for sports trips, club activities, and other outings and training camps.Thank you very much for your help.Also, if I have a chance, I would like to use it.
