"The buffet breakfast here was exceptional. Japanese cuisine rotated daily so you get to try a wide variety of food and be perfectly setup for the day. Most days spent here we were fine until dinner because of how filling the breakfast was. They had a fairly large staff cooking and keeping things clean. I only wish I could have expressed just how amazing the food was. The property was nice, though they do not have cool air in the upstairs halls or elevators. But, that’s not unusual. Same for cleaning rooms, they turn off unattended air. Just be prepared, this is also fairly normal. Check in procedure was simply providing passports for scan. Check out was an automated machine where each room key went and an employee was very helpful to streamline the process. Odawara was my first stop on my first trip to Japan. It is a nice place on its own with plenty of charm and makes Mount Fuji and Hakone very accessible. It’s a Shinkansen stop as well. So getting to Tokyo was 33 min. This hotel is a few blocks from the station on the main road in front of the East exit of the station. The street here is made up on one side to be reminiscent of older Japan towns. If you crave a smaller city experience and need access to other areas, this is a good spot. Plus there’s Odawara Castle a couple blocks away. Very walkable."
