Yes, the rooms are a bit dated, but the room was comfortable, and a bargain for the area. The breakfast was made up of fairly standard items (with some Japanese extras thrown in), but the food was prepared well, and the breakfast staff very attentive.
The bed was comfortable, the semi-suite layout was nice yet efficient, and the shower was great--in short, the most important things I expect in a value or mid-range hotel. Some of the reviews mentioned slow internet service...I heard several guests discussing this at breakfast, but can't directly comment--I used my own service by tethering to my 4G smartphone.
In addition, my arrival was postponed from Friday night to Saturday morning due to a snow-storm, and staff was available and helpful both on the phone and in person to deal with these changes.
In short, I'd definitely recommend this hotel, and would definitely stay there again.
