The place is very clean, the room is bigger than regular hotel's I've stayed in Japan. AC is really cold despite the hot weather outside and the staff are very friendly and have good English speaking skills

9/10 Wonderful! (1,012 reviews)

A great location, right next to the train station, Universal Studios and many shopping/dining options. Room was comfortable and clean. Buffet breakfasts were nice. The only downside was a small self laundry area where there was a lot of waiting to use machines in the evening.
