adequate stay with some drawbacks

coffee queuelimited options
the breakfast service felt understaffed. a long queue formed at the single coffee machine. the limited western-style options at breakfast were also disappointing. the hotel bar imposed a cover charge. this seemed unnecessary for hotel guests.

the rooms were spacious, very comfy and tidy. the water pressure in the showers was good! mayumi tokieda really helped get my daughter's wallet back. she called the jr line and arranged for us to pick it up in osaka.
The breakfast was pretty awful. There wasn't much choice of non-japanese food. there wasn't even a toaster. clearing our table ourselves to free it up resulted in a staff telling us off! never seen that before.
