daily cleaning small room

the hotel had a good location near the subway station which was convenient for getting around.

the room felt really small to me, and it was hard to move around with my luggage. also, i noticed they didn't clean my room every day, a little disappointing. i had expected daily cleaning.

Satisfactory stay with some minor issues

convenient location fulfilling breakfast relaxing onsen small room little space uncooperative staff

I found the location quite convenient. It was very near a metro station. The breakfast was fulfilling (I liked the miso soup). There was also an onsen in the hotel. It was relaxing after a long day.

The room I had was quite small. There was almost no space to open my suitcase without putting it on the bed. There also was no closet available. The staff seemed a bit uncooperative regarding transport to the airport.
