It wasn't as good as I'd hoped. The nearest subway entrance is by the police station, but there are no elevators to get down to the platform. The other entrance, near the Ichiran Ramen main store, is a bit far; you'll see the hotel building after crossing the bridge.
The room itself was alright, but the cleanliness was just so-so. I even found long hairs from a previous guest on the bathroom wall (they weren't mine, I hadn't even washed my hair yet!). For a hotel in a popular Japanese tourist city, that's really not acceptable. The bathroom ventilation seemed mediocre; you couldn't leave the door open as it might set off the smoke alarm.
The canal view from the window was nice, but I didn't have much time to enjoy it, as I was out and about most of the time. The breakfast was decent, but there wasn't much variety; it couldn't compare to the breakfast I had at the Beppu onsen hotel a few days prior. They had a sign by the entrance saying the breakfast was worth 2000 yen, which I honestly don't think it was. There was one table though, where you could look out and see a distant tower, which was quite pretty.
