This was a very average tourist grade hotel. The rooms and building were older and of very average quality. Definitely not an 8-9 rating in my opinion. The staff was accommodating and nice.

You will hear the train tracks all night long even with your window shut. We were on the 9th floor and still heard the train all night long. The beds are not that comfortable and the blankets are even worse. It is right next the JR station about a 8 minute walk. The location is a bit ghetto. For a 4 star hotel, it seemed way below average. The bathroom is nicest part! Great water pressure.
