"This property was very nice. Our room was typical Japanese size small partly because we had a single twin which is huge. I highly recommend getting the double twin room. In Japan a twin is more like a full or queen. The hotel buffet has something for everyone. We enjoy staying at the Tobu hotels. Our favorite is Tobu Hotel Levant in Tokyo. Utsunomiya Tobu Hotel Grande is a great stay. Its minutes walking to the Tobu-Utsunomiya Station too."
