The breakfast buffet was terrible, and the closing time is 9:30am but they stopped putting out food 30 minutes before closing. If you come out late you get white rice and a cup of coffee, also they don’t offer coffee or tea in the room for guests.

Some of the friendly staff do not speak English fluently, but they always tried to help, so it would be helpful if you know a little bit of Japanese. Very high value for the price.

It’s worth for a short stay
I didn’t expect the place to be kinda old but it was decent for the price I paid. Also, when you go to the smoking floor to do laundry, you can tell it’s the smoking floor.
