The hotel is older but is in a very safe and quiet area. There is direct bus transport between it and Haneda Airport at specified times for a reasonable rate. Shopping at the outlets is a two-minute walk away. The staff is extremely helpful.

An easy access from Kaihinmakuhari Station, about 5 minutes walking. Location is perfect. We got the breakfast package and we enjoyed it with a beautiful view of the bay. The room was decent with the necessary amenities. No coin laundry on site, so you would have to go somewhere if you are staying long. I’d come back again!
