Convenient Stay Near Shinjuku

peaceful location helpful staff
The location was great, just off the main roads, it felt fairly peaceful. I appreciated the helpful staff. They answered our travel questions. There is a cute on-site cafe that offered light meals and drinks. The cafe provided a convenient option for quick refreshments.
I thought the room could have used more towel bars. There was not enough space to hang our towels after showering.
