Great location a block away from Odori Park. Underground walkway was close by for shopping and eating when the weather was too wet/cold. The hotel itself is old, but the service was great for the price I paid. One of the staff spoke English really well, a nice Japanese lady named Kyoko. I had the Japanese style room, and it was great to experience staying in such a room. All the places and things I wanted to do was walking distance from this hotel. Wifi was free and trouble free to connect. I'd definitely come back here!
