"The staff here are exceptional, so very kind, warm and welcoming. I felt right at home. I love the small market / artisanal goods shop setup in the entrance of the hotel. Such nifty little pieces for those which appreciate handcraft / handcraft pottery and Japanese cultural craft. Of course I purchased some pieces.
I can't speak for all rooms of course. I will say the overall hallways, building itself, elevators and rooms are clean, kept very tidy. The carpet in my room, in particular was soiled but not too much of a bother for me. I've been all over the world and been subjected to much worse. The room was clean, just the carpet is in need of a change.
But all the other pluses made up for this. The area around the hotel is exceptional, so many food choices, holes in the walls...a great place/ area to stay in if you like 'walking distance foods'
I deeply enjoyed my stay there for a week, as I was passing through. Such great people. Thank you Peggy for all your help and assistance. "
