The hotel staff are generally helpful. Hotel is accessible to train station, bus interchange, eateries, local market, and malls. There is also a lovely neighborhood park with a lake nestled in Kichijoji. Our family enjoyed exploring the small shophouses lined along small streets in the vicinity. Was surprised to stumble upon several thrift shops and 2nd hand electronic store. Overall room is generally clean but our bathroom had a strong stench of urine hence, giving 4* rating for cleanliness. Location is good is 5*. One of the reasons I chose this hotel is because the pickup point for the express limousine bus to Haneda airport is just a stone throw from hotel.

The rich was good and the inside was clean, but the first two days smelled badly from the sewer. The third day was better (maybe because I left the shower room door open and awakened ??). The air in the room was worse than the aisle. I was tired and I couldn't find any other hotel, so I put up with it.

The room was small but clean and tidy, and also very quiet. For the price, I was quite satisfied. However, I had requested a month in advance not to be given a room at the end of the hall, but I ended up with one anyway, which was a bit frustrating.
