"My son and I were visiting the Tachikawa area for an event and stayed in Hachioji for four nights at the b Hachioji. Hachioji was a convenient 3 stops down the Chuo line and the hotel was a pleasant less than 10 minute walk from the Hachioji train station. As visitors from the US we found the area easy to navigate and the b Hachioji hotel excellent for foreign visitors. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were a good size (keep in mind most hotel rooms in Japan feel small by US standards) -- we had 2 beds and our non-smoking room had no evidence of smoking from the past. The hotel has a nice coffee and water station in the lobby that I took advantage of daily (although we never made it for the free evening pancakes from 6-8 PM). There is ample food nearby (special shoutout to the Matsunoya katsu chain around the corner), 3 major drug store chains, and all 3 major convenience store chains. I would highly recommend b Hachioji for foreign visitors."
