The hotel was a bit disappointing with tiny rooms that made it a challenge to move around with luggage. The breakfast was subpar, and controlling the room temperature was difficult due to it being too hot. However, the service was fantastic with attentive staff who provided great care. The location was perfect, right next to Higashi-Shinjuku Tokyo metro station, offering great convenience for exploring the area. The dining experience was mediocre with food that seemed store-bought, but they had some nice jams. Overall, it's a mixed experience with some key drawbacks and positives.
