The hotel is in a decent location, about a 10 to 15-minute walk to major attractions like Odori Park and Tanukikoji Shopping Street. The rooms are on the smaller side and could use some cleaning attention, but they met our basic needs. The staff were friendly and helpful, although communication was a bit tricky due to limited English skills. Overall, it's fair for the price, though not quite ideal due to the room condition.
