We had little idea of what to expect and were agreeably surprised by the high standards of this well located hotel. The rooms were large by Japanese standards, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Staff went out of their way to point us in the direction of the main attractions and restaurants. There is a tram stop outside the hotel which we used at the end of our stay to get back to the station; our taciturn taxi driver had taken a very long way round to take us to the hotel on our first day! The hotel sells daily tram passes. Breakfast was good and copious - 'though the evening meal was very average and slightly...
