adequate stay near the station

convenient locationhelpful staffdiverse breakfastfaulty air conditioningsmall bathroomobscured window
the location proved very convenient near the main station. the staff offered helpful assistance with luggage both before check-in and after check-out. breakfast provided a variety of japanese and western options.
the air conditioning did not function optimally in the room i occupied. i found the bathroom to be somewhat small. the lack of a proper window in my room was a bit disappointing, it had obscured glass that blocked the view.
