9/10 Wonderful! (305 reviews)

What a great hotel! My room was really nice with two twin beds and lounger to relax on. I had a bit of a view with the big picture window. This is a very walkable area 5 minutes walk to the nearest train station. There are lots of restaurants nearby and a ton of convenience stores with great food options too. The breakfast buffet is pretty awesome, just get there no later than 8:30. I highly recommended 👍
