So close to the street car and easy to hop on and get around town. This hotel was really lovely and the staff were spectacular. For those of you westerners…the showers are a little funny to get used to but enjoyable overall.

It’s a a very nice hotel with the Japanese theme which makes it very charming. The staff go out of their way to help. The breakfast is nice. They also have a public bath on the property if you want to experience it.

Beautiful JAPANESE STYLE Doubletree
Need to put the Japanese Style in CAPS as folks clearly did not read the description or look at photos before staying here. It is absolutely gorgeous but yes, the rooms are small and beds are low to the floor as it is Japanese inspired. The restaurant is really nice, fair size, breakfast buffet, and good on the current menu for dinner. Do not miss the Japanese baths - one for men and one for women. Highly recommend!

Friendly and professional staff. The facility is well maintained. Breakfast is decent. All good accept the size of the rooms. Rooms are depressingly small.
