The hotel had rooms priced higher than I wanted to spend but was large, though not luxuriously appointed, which was amazing after 12 hours of walking around visiting tourist attractions. The rooms are very compact. The service thought we had checked out already and were just coming back to take the baggage, wasn't very helpful, with no free breakfast, but assisted us in getting from the kita-kagaya station to a taxi waiting area, is very friendly and accommodating. The location is not bad, as far as I could tell, but it is far from the central districts. The dining was fantastic as well, with good and plentiful options, both Western and Japanese, and a high chair for my son. The facilities were good overall.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable, but they could have been cleaner. The service was a mix of confusion about our checkout, but the staff was ultimately nice and took care of us well. The location was convenient with plenty of nearby shops and restaurants, but the worn-down atmosphere was a downside. The dining options offered a good variety, though more non-Japanese choices would have been appreciated. The facilities were decent, providing what was needed but nothing extravagant.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while spacious for Japanese standards, had a lingering smoky smell that was a bit off-putting. On the bright side, the service was friendly and attentive, although there were some instances where politeness could have been improved. The location, although far from the city center, had convenient amenities nearby. The dining options offered a good variety, especially for fans of Japanese breakfast, but could have had more choices for those who prefer a different style of breakfast.
