Excellent hotel, premium double room was large, lots of room to put suitcases. Restaurant ok, buffet had many varieties but overall the American portion was not tasty and overpriced in my opinion. No coin laundry knocked the rating down. Tried to have my laundry done by the hotel on March 20 but was told it was a Japanese holiday and laundry would not be ready until the day I left. Had to walk to coin laundry about 10 minutes away to get laundry done. Oh well, saved lots of money doing it that way. Overall, hotel was nice and staff was great, Housekeeping was awesome and I would probably stay there again since it is close to rail and shopping.
