This hotel is very old with wall papers pilled off. The carpet is a bit smelly, although the rest of the room seemed clean. It was a tourist trap that I paid almost 3x the price per night compared to other good hotels around it, which are at most 8500 yen (around $60 USD) per night, with newer room and much more amenities. The room I was in didn’t even have hooks to hang face towels. The tiny closet around 25 inches in width only has seen clothe hangers. The bathroom sink, separated for the bathroom, is right in front of the bed. The fridge is at least 30 years old, almost useless. The room smells strong musty odor of cigarettes, even it is a non-smoking room. The windows of aluminum frames are very dirty.
It is not a typically safe area. You have to give your key to the receptionist before going out every time. It took me a long time to realize why, but the hotel is trying to prevent illicit sex activities around the area. This hotel is not for families! Period!
It was a tourist trap, and I am surprised that Expedia has such low quality hotels listed with frankly ripped off price.
I give it one star mainly the receptionists are friendly.
