spacious roompoor english skillslate check-in
The room was quite spacious.
The process to check in proved atrocious. The staff's English skills seemed poor, and they did not show hospitality to guests. They require check-out by 11:00 but only allow check-in at 3:00 p.m.. They do not guarantee the room will be prepared at that time. Waiting several hours after an international flight was unacceptable.

the location is perfect. i found access to the shinkansen, buses, and the subway very easy. the shops, cafes, and restaurants added to the convenience. the station architecture was amazing!!! i also loved the warm welcome and the help i received with my luggage. the housekeeping staff was very friendly.
i noticed some issues. the hallway had a cigarette odor despite our non-smoking preference. i also thought the room needed updates. the beds were not very comfortable, especially the pull-out sofa.
