I have stayed here around 15 times in the past 10 years or so while visiting colleagues in Okazaki. On the positive side, the hotel has a wonderful rooftop Japanese bath, the public areas are recently renovated and it is close to the river and Okazaki castle which offer wonderful views, particularly in the autumn and spring. The HVAC has been renovated in the past few years (very welcome) and there is now wireless internet throughout the property. On the negative side, the rooms are teeny, the beds not particularly comfortable and the breakfast buffet a definite step down from the previous cook-to-order breakfast. Friends say this is the best hotel in Okazaki, but it is just average when compared with others.
