I must say, my stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The location was fantastic, near the Okayama train station and surrounded by convenient stores for breakfast supplies, but the room felt a bit small for the price paid. The service was generally helpful and kind, although they couldn't assist with a specific request. Dining was pleasant but not outstanding, and the facilities were satisfactory.
