"This hotel was clean and very comfortable; in a great location with walkable access to lots of restaurants, the trains were close to the location. There is a stairway at the corner that leads you down to the underground where you can find many options to eat and shop. We ate there several times. We also enjoyed the restaurant right across the street one flight down called Batten Yokatoh. Excellent food"
