Disappointing

4.0

Very clean, very comfortable beds and nice sheets and pillows; very nice substantial Japanese breakfast, good coffee and tea. Plentiful water pitchers available in hall. One of us has a food allergy and they were very conscientious and careful about that which we appreciated. They provided umbrellas for us to use in the rain, which was great.

Not kept up as well as should be, 3 of 4 double hooks for hanging clothes in room were half broken. These were plastic and very inexpensive so I don’t understand why they would not have been replaced. Sliding door came apart when we tried to close it (gently!), we put it back together; there was a piece of ragged duct tape over a switchplate at waist height by door, so very visible. Maybe covering a hole? Didn’t try to figure out why it was there. Thought they could have cut it neatly at least. From photos thought it would be more of a garden setting instead our window had many hanging electrical wires outside and looked into an ugly dirt lot across the alley. Just putting a plant there would have made a big difference. We expected to pay cash for local tax and for the breakfast. We were charged 4.5% to use a credit card for the room. I have been charged 3% before but 4.5% surprised me. Also, I didn’t remember seeing anything that said there was a fee for using a credit card or I would’ve been prepared to pay cash for the room as well. We interacted with three staff, two were very sweet and kind, but the owner was not.

Location was great, situated slightly away from the town centre, about a 10 minute walk from the nearest station. Staff were extremely friendly and accommodating, especially if you require to store your bags after checkout.

As the bath is a shared bath, the men's section door tends to be left open, meaning the changing area is within view from the hallway, anyone using the bath would have to ensure the door is constantly closed properly.
