ONE OF THE BEST PLACES I HAVE STAYED AT! Travel often and use Marriott often, but the quality of this place & the customer service surpassed all others. You will not miss that it doesn’t have a hot spring or pool…and the lower rate was an extra incentive (but the new, updated, incredible comfort was 5 star quality)

Great choice of hotel for an overnight trip to Nikko. The hotel was new, modern, clean and well equipped. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the shower was powerful and the towels were soft. I was very happy with this hotel and would highly recommend it.

We loved the wonderful staff, extremely comfortable bed, spacious & efficient room layout and amenities. The only downside was no restaurant or fresh food available onsite. On days when many of the local restaurants were closed, it was difficult to get sufficient meals.

Very comfortable but no restaurant

A very comfortable hotel although there was no restaurant and the town was half an hour walk away. One morning we had a fairly average frozen cheese sandwich. Having said that the service was excellent and the room very comfortable with a lovely bed and shower.

I picked this hotel because they advertised free shuttle from the train station as it is an uphill trek. The hotel sent an email AFTER my free cancellation period stating no shuttle was available - the web site was not updated to reflect this.

Very clean facility and helpful staff. Minimalist formula with no food services or breakfast on site. Somewhat remote from town and not much to do or eat around it. Car definitely needed to get in and out as taxi services are very sketchy at best.

Nice, quiet location, reserve amenities early

The staff was very friendly and the rooms were comfortable. There was common space to eat, and food available for purchase at the market. Only a couple places to eat nearby, town is 20 minutes away by foot and busses were not as readily available as we had hoped. There are three busses that take you into town in the AM and only three available in the evening to return to the hotel. Both are by reservation only.
