I found the staff very friendly. the room was spacious, larger than i expected in japan. The turntable was a fun touch! i appreciated the stumptown coffee in the lobby, it was welcome first thing in the morning. the free bikes were wonderful and easy to use for exploring.
The room is too dark. There isn't an option to turn it brighter. it wasn't an issue for me, but it could be difficult for children or elderly guests.

I liked the record player in the room. The guitar was a fun addition. The water pressure in the shower was really awesome, it was a treat! I also found that Stump Town Coffee in the lobby was a very nice touch.
Staff was aloof. They didn't deliver pajamas when I called down the first night. It was a minor inconvenience.

i adore the record player in my room. i felt so romantic as i play smooth jazz. the room design feels so fresh, like a flower just bloomed. the staff were sweet, each action gentle and kind.
the music in the lobby, while lively, did felt a bit too loud sometimes. a quieter nook would really complete it.
