This hotel was in a great location in Kamakura. the hotel staff was exceptionally nice and friendly. The rooms were very clean and had an upscale feel. They gave free soup and rice every night! I would definitely stay here again.

It seems this was my mistake for booking without double-checking the reservation; I thought I was getting a women-only space. But this place is comfortable.
