We loved this hotel; this was one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in over 2 months of travelling around Japan, especially for the price. It was nice, modern, new, clean, and quiet. The staff spoke great English, some of the best we’ve heard. It was also in a convenient part of town, with a 10-minute walk to the train station (we had a vehicle so proximity to the station wasn’t key for us) and restaurants and stores just outside the front door. They also have a nice onsen (that’s free to use, unlike in a previous howe stayed at) that has a hot indoor and outdoor pool. Bonus: Sola (right across from men’s onsen entrance) offers FREE beer and shochu from 7:00-10:00pm every night! We found this out almost by accident, as it doesn’t seem like it’s promoted much (at least in English), although perhaps for good reason!
