I chose a Best & Western as it was my first time to Japan and given my familiarity with the brand, I thought that association would ease me into it. Unfortunately the staff don't speak much or little English. The breakfast, whilst the staff were lovely, was lacking and served cold. There is a McDonalds down the road, where its cheaper, more variety and frankly better English. All the TV channels are in Japanese and the staff didn't know how to fix the chrome casting issues I had ( to be fair a common awareness problem). Ultimately, this is a good area on a good train line and a nice hotel, not the cheapest and if you want any real advice best to head to an Tourist Centre. If you stick to that plan, you'll have a great time in Japan and a nice stay in the hotel.
