"Great hotel! Beautiful view from the room! It is a bit of a walk from Nikko which can be lovely after eating way too much food for dinner. Taxis are fairly inexpensive back-and-forth. When I stayed, there was a food truck that showed up for breakfast and dinner options, this was fantastic! The quality of the food was really high. I didnโ€™t try any of the food from the little store that they have on site, but the pizza did smell good. The laundry machines were always busy, so thatโ€™s something to be aware of.
