"For our two weeks in Japan, this was probably our most favorite stay. The hotel was very clean, and the bed was very comfortable. There's a public bath and gym for those interested. Kyoto was our favorite city to walk and site see, and Nijo Station being across the street you can get around Kyoto in no time. There's some restaurant chains across the street, and a Life grocery store about 5 minutes down the street. Nijo Castle is also a short walk. My only knock against our stay was the self check-in/out. Would rather be interacting with the staff, which was friendly and helpful, than a machine."
