After reading some of the reviews, I was initially worried the hotel's facilities would be quite poor and that it wouldn't be great overall. However, once I actually arrived, I realized you really shouldn't get too fixated on negative online comments. There were at least 10 staff members in the lobby greeting guests, a diverse team including Japanese staff. The service felt largely five-star, despite the absence of doormen, and the lobby's interior design was excellent.
I booked the smallest room, prioritizing value for money since I was only staying for two days, but it still had all the essentials. What really surprised me was the gym. I had previously emailed the staff asking about the equipment, and they only mentioned barbells and treadmills. However, when I saw it in person, I was astonished! They had so much more equipment – it felt like they were totally downplaying it! The gym space itself was also genuinely large, and I had a fantastic workout.
Finally, I must add that the young lady who greeted me at the counter during check-in on the first day was beautiful, and her greeting involved a truly authentic Japanese-style bow. In the years following the pandemic, it's become rare to see such attentive service staff in Japan. It felt like stepping back in time 19 years.
