This hotel offers a very good location with daily breakfast. The rooms are clean, and the heater works well in the winter. We arrived late at night, and the staff were very friendly. It is very close to Honde University Station and includes a buffet breakfast. This is a good place to go if you arrive on a late-night flight.
