We had a 2 night stay at this hotel. First, this hotel is on a hill, which is not obvious when booking. Taking a cab or the bus is helpful. We arrived to find that the bathroom had a dead bug and grime. We went to the front desk to request a cleaning, and were told this was going to be done. We came back after dinner to find it was not done. Nor was there any cleaning done the day after.
We also asked if we could change rooms, but were told first that the hotel is fully booked, and the next day that "someone in charge" will be there in the afternoon to see about a room change. We never heard back. We asked hotels.com if we could get a refund and book a different hotel for the second night, but hotels.com could not get a hold of the hotel by phone.
We looked back and noticed that for the room we booked, only one picture of the bathroom was available, and it was of the tub. The premium rooms were renovated, and the new bathroom does feature prominently, which is a misrepresentation because it made us think all rooms were renovated. The rest of the room was quite dated as well including very old mini fridge and safe.
The breakfast is quite good. However, they do charge JPY 6600 for the buffet dinner, and we did not have it as we thought there were many cheaper options in town.
