Booked a double-room for 2 of us for a week.

Hotel building itself is old but the rooms are spotless and the sheets and towels are all clean. Staff were always ready to help and were really friendly.

We had a kitchenette which was handy for cooking, but the general store downstairs had so many food options (bento boxes, sushi, poke bowls, full bakery) at really cheap prices (6 USD or less).

If you need to be surrounded by fancy new furnishings and chain-smoking package tourists then maybe try the bigger hotels nearby.

If you want clean, breezy rooms with helpful staff and cheap, high-quality food, Himawari is a solid option

I originally booked this hotel through Hotwire and they had it listed as a 3 star hotel. I travel for work and so am familiar with properties with ranging star ratings. I went online and looked at the hotel's website and felt okay with my booking, I kept in mind that photos aren't always accurate. Upon entering our room and looking around we were quickly disappointed at what we saw with the accommodations. First, the sheets had stains on most of them, the floor was quite dusty, and the restroom was not clean. My partner and I ended up buying cleaning supplies and cleaned the restroom and mopped the floor throughout. The shower fixtures had an excess amount of calcium build up on them and the shower walls had stains that we managed to scrub off. We ended up checking out the next morning, 4 days earlier than planned. I'm sure the property is good for some, but it wasn't what we had expected. It should be noted that the property is in a great location, right downstairs is a store that sells all sorts of lunches and soups. Main hotel area and shopping is a quick walk away.

I had to stay at this hotel once, because I had a last minute business trip and there was no rooms available. It was my first and making sure that it is my last! Very old rooms and has a musky odor. It seems like the 70s and 80s mushed together. I thought Sun hotel was bad, this beats them all! Make this place as a last resort!
