Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

massage chairsvaried breakfastinconsistent cleaning

The amenities impressed me. I particularly enjoyed the free massage chairs on the second floor (perfect after a long day). The breakfast buffet was varied and tasty. Access to Shin Omiya Station made exploring easy.

The room cleaning was inconsistent . I had to request fresh water daily, a minor inconvenience.

My room was quite spacious. It allowed for convenient luggage placement. The smart mirror displayed useful hotel information, including public bath occupancy, so i knew when to visit (quite practical).

Location

The hotel is a short walk from Shin Omiya Station. Heijo Palace is not far away. A tsutaya bookstore sits next to the hotel (i found nice books there).

Service

The staff members were very helpful. They decorated the room for my husband's birthday. I found this detail very kind (nice!). The public bath allows guests with tattoos.

excellent onsenpoor room cleaningunsatisfactory food

The onsen was quite nice. It was open almost all the time.

The room cleaning left much to be desired. I had to ask for water every single day. And don't even get me started on the cafeteria food. It was utterly disappointing!
