We booked quite well in advance and obtained a good rate for our room. We were agreeably suprised at the size of the room - the largest we have experienced in Japan. It was very pleasant: a large, quite luxurious bathroom and good furnishings throughout. The air conditioning worked well - and there was the usual water heater. It's in a good location - about five minutes walk from the subway station, on a main bus route and the sea is just across the road. We opted for a city, rather than a sea, view - as that was cheaper. The breakfast seemed very expensive, so we ate out. There is Chinatown on the doorstep and a Family Mart nearby for provisions. Best aspect: value and location and size of room. Worst aspect: none - but for character, rather than a standard hotel room - go elsewhere. We had stayed in a variety of guesthouses, ryokan and hotels on our trip and we really enjoyed a few nights of space and comfort!

We got a cheap room off the internet, and it was great! The room was big, and we were able to adjust the temperature which was great! Very convenient location between two subway stations, and 5 min walk from Chinatown. The staff were able to help me with forwarding luggage to Tokyo.
