The hotel is conveniently located right across from the JR railway station, making it superb for travelers. The rooms offer a unique capsule-style layout with curtains as doors, providing a mixed cabin setup. The service is exemplary, with very friendly staff offering extra perks like Yakult. While the location couldn't be better for access to transportation, issues with temperature monitoring need attention. The homemade ice-cream at the dining facility is a delightful treat.
