I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms, especially in Japan, and the reliable WiFi connection. It was nice to have instructions on how to use the amenities. However, the lack of a view was a bit disappointing, though the room was well-appointed and slightly smaller than ideal.

The hotel had a room that appeared small and old despite its exterior look. However, it provided no drawers but offered enough space to access our luggage easily with only a double bed available. On the bright side, it was conveniently located near restaurants, convenience stores, and both bus and subway stations.

The hotel was quiet, clean, and comfortable, offering a great location near subway and major bus stops. The service was friendly and helpful, making our stay pleasant. However, the dining experience was rather disappointing with a bit of steep pricing. The lack of a microwave in the room was surprising but did not greatly affect our overall comfort.
