The hotel is very basic, but a decent value. The staff were very helpful. The rooms were efficient and generally clean. They are small but are fine for one person, with a microwave, hotpot, refrigerator and free wifi. I could only get a smoking room due to availability, but it wasn't a problem. The window opens, which is nice for fresh air, but bring ear plugs if you want to open it because the adjacent building is a Pachinko parlor. (The parlor closes at 11:30pm.) There is no noise with the window closed. The hotel is a short block from the train station and since Chofu is a Rapid train stop you can get to Shinjuku with only two intermediate stops. Try the Hotel Chofu for a great Yakitori dinner. It is about three blocks from the hotel.
