ANA Crowne Plaza Okayama by IHG
Lovely hotel with excellent service. Front desk reception was warm and welcoming. The staff went out of the way to help us resolve some problems we had with car rental, as we spoke no Japanese. The hotel itself is centrally located near the train station and big shopping malls.
