Calm atmosphere (originally 4 stars or higher)I travel all over the country by car (90 nights a year).You can't go wrong with mutual aid.It's a little old, butCleans well and does not cause any discomfort. Emphasis on cleanliness.(Unfortunately, the shower curtain smells bad)Free parking is also a plus in this area.(It takes a lot of time to process expenses...)Japanese breakfast is good (tasty too)Other restaurants only serve frozen Western food.This kind of hotel has spacious rooms.There is no pressure because it is taken.I can feel the careful attention to detail everywhere.It's getting a bad rating due to some strange reviews, but even if it's not flashy, it's not bad either.I thought it was a "good" hotel.
