Great small hotel with excellent location
We had a great stay. The staff were very accommodating and would go above and beyond for your request. The hotel was clean and location was excellent. Only comment was there should be more shelf and hooks in the bathroom (the room I stayed has 0). Overall, we had a great stay and would come back again next time

The location was close to where we wanted to be. There were numerous dining and shopping options within a few minute walk. The area appeared very safe and the staff were very friendly. A few minor areas of concern. The bed was extremely soft which may be an issue for a few people. The TV had hundreds of stations that the hotel did not pay for access and there were only 2 viewable in English, one of which was an Japanese lifestyle station. Our bathroom towelbar was falling off wall. Overall the lack of TV and the towel rack were minor and the comfort of the soft bed was subjective. It still was a great location and the staff were helpful when asked any questions or local advice. The minor issues would not prevent me from staying there again.
