First, the pros:
1. Sakuragicho is one of Yokohama's busiest commercial areas, and the hotel is right next to Sakuragicho Station with a fantastic night view.
2. There's a large shopping mall directly below the hotel, with a supermarket on the B1 floor, making it very convenient to buy things in the evening.
3. Compared to rooms of the same price in Tokyo, it's much more spacious, at least not cramped. If you're familiar with Japan's railway system, you can definitely book here.
4. The service is good; empty plates are cleared immediately after you finish eating.
Cons:
1. The breakfast selection isn't very extensive, even a bit sparse. There's only one type of cake and less than 5 types of bread. However, there are a few decent 'signature dishes,' like shrimp dumplings. The curry beef rice is also quite unique. But compared to the Washington Hotel next door, the breakfast is much worse; the latter offers sushi, sashimi, various stews, and a much wider variety of desserts.
2. Both the restaurant and the lobby are not very large, and the restaurant seating is quite dense, which can feel a bit stifling when crowded.
3. The TV remote control in my room was not very responsive; I had to press it many times for it to work. This really shouldn't be happening; it's a small issue but significantly impacts the experience.
