station location useful facilities

The hotel was close to the station, it was convenient. i found useful facilities inside, and i also got free pajamas. I used the ground floor to eat my own food.

The elevators smelled a bit weird, i noticed. i think they should pay more attention to this. Maybe regular cleaning or air fresheners would help. it was a bit off-putting.

I found the hotel to be clean and well kept. the location was great. It was near omiya station, so exploring was easy.

the room felt a bit small for the price i paid. also, the frosted window didn't allow much light into the room, so it felt a little stuffy.

I stayed in a twin room for three nights. The room was very clean. Staff members were respectful. The location was quiet both outside and inside the building.

The rooms are small. Space was limited and there was not much place to sit except the bed. My room faced a brick wall. Natural light was limited because of this view.
