The room was very clean and had a wonderful view, albeit a side view, of a nearby park. The food in the restaurant was exceptional. My only regret is that i let my western sensibilities keep me from experiencing the onsen itself.

Clean, quite and convenient. The AC temp control reverts to hotels settings after a few hours. You can't change the timer that the hotel set the allotment hours you can control your AC. The breakfast buffet is great traditional Japanese food.
