main lines convenient stores

The hotel is near otsuka train station, and with ikebukuro one stop away, it made it easy to get on the main lines. i noticed there was a lawson and family mart in both directions. This made it very convenient (super useful for late-night snacks!). the otsuka train station had a good amount of shops within walking distance to grab all sorts of goodies for skincare, clothes, makeup, snacks, and desserts.

the lifts were a bit slow at times. it occasionally took what seemed like forever to get out of the hotel during peak hours.

small room controlled ac system

the onsen was a definite plus, especially after long days of sightseeing. it was located on an upper floor, so that was okay.

the room was small, even by city standards (i guess i should've expected it). i also found the centrally controlled ac system frustrating. i couldn't adjust the temperature to my liking, and the room was often too hot.

convenient onsen convenient store superb location

the onsen on the top floor felt great after a long day exploring, we loved it. a 7-eleven inside the building provided extra convenience for quick snacks and drinks. the location was superb, very close to the jr line station.

the room was quite small, it was difficult to open suitcases fully.

convenient location friendly staff fast check-in laundry room

This hotel sits close to the Yamanote Line. This made travel simple. The staff were friendly. Check-in and check-out happened quickly. I also appreciated having access to a laundry room on the premises.

The elevator system seemed busy at times. It was necessary to wait longer than expected.
