Lobby is very modern and the reception speaks good English. Parking at the Times lot nearby is affordable. Amenities bar is good.
Rooms themselves are OK. Good size and I really liked the window side couch area to recline on. However the bathrooms are very dated, and not inline with how modern the hotel looks from the exterior. Also their demand that cleaning needs to be performed by 9AM seems unreasonable to me.
The public bath was a miss for me. They spent a lot of time advertising the public bath but the accessory facilities are largely ignored. The outdoor bath is nice and the indoor bath is OK. But the sauna does not have towels on the floors, or pads for the benches. There are no seats in the vanity area, which is small and located in the middle of a hallway. The locker space is narrow and there are no benches.
The location itself is not bad. It is close to the Chinatown area, and there is a pharmacy right below it as well as two konbinis nearby. Hamanmachi shopping arcade is also close by.
Overall, this hotel gets a lot of rave reviews from travellers but I found it to be just OK. They advertise deep discounts on their rooms but I think that is deceptive and it is just their normal pricing. The high amount of traffic in this hotel is a turnoff for me.
Not my favorite hotel from my trip.
