This hotel is a quick 5-10 min walk from the train station. There are food places right outside the entrance, and a street over has a beautiful strip of cherry blossom trees (perfect for picture taking). The staff was friendly, available, and spoke english. The thing that most disturbs me about the facility is that it was very dingy. The walls of the hallways and rooms had dirt marks on them, the bathroom shower curtain smelled moldy, the hallways had items in them constantly so you had to watch where you walked. The whole building needs a thorough deep clean. Fresh towels and pajamas were delivered daily though.
