Not a far nor difficult walk from Kokura Station. The staff were nice. Breakfast was basic but had a good variety, though some of the choices may seem weird (meatballs, fried chicken). There was also a poster in English and Japanese advertising the availability of beer for breakfast (for an additional charge). The bed was comfortable. I didn't use the sento (indoor hot spring) bath, so I can't comment on that. As a foreign resident of Japan (not a tourist), I was pleased that the front desk did not try to get a photocopy of my foreign registration card, unlike the odious APA Hotel, which insists on it, despite the law. Overall, would recommend.
