The hotel is conveniently located right next to JR Hofu station, making it super convenient with easy access to shops. The rooms, although smaller compared to others, are comfortable. The friendly staff insists on photocopying an ID card, but they are welcoming, and the strong Wi-Fi signal adds value. The dining experience, although a bit excessive for breakfast, offers a tasty shabushabu. Overall, a great location with some room for improvement in service and dining.
