"It's a very traditional Mitsui if you have stayed with MGH before. While it's a few minutes away from the Hakata station and the area feels quieter, you still have very easy access to the metro (the station is right across the street), shopping (next to Canal City), and a lot of nice little restaurants and coffee shop (the popular FUK is just across the street as well) are right nearby (the hotel shabu shabu restaurant is amazing on its own). The room is a quite a bit roomier than the Oriental Hotel by Hakata station, also quite a bit newer, with both around the same price range. Though I have to say, while being older, Oriental Hotel is quite a bit cleaner. The musk scent was so strong in our room I actually had a dream about trying to get the smell out that night (lol)... very glad I didn't stay there more than one night."
